Complex commercial collection is the resolution of debts one business owes another and that go beyond a simple failure to pay. Often involving significant documentation issues, complex commercial collection includes disputes about the timeliness and adequacy of performance, advertising and promotional commitments, and allegations of defective or nonconforming goods or services. Sometimes the complexity is determining exactly what the parties agreed to. In other cases, it may require convincing a debtor to pay a foreign creditor or one with which it no longer does business. Many times, it involves a customer with which the creditor hopes to maintain a relationship.
Resolution of a complex commercial collection case almost always requires the involvement of a third party, usually a collection agency or an attorney. Frequently, the debtor must be confronted with detailed documentation proving not only the debt, but also that the debt is not subject to any defenses.
Collecting complex commercial claims requires both legal and business experience. Knowledge of commercial collection law and procedure is essential to evaluate a creditor’s rights and determine its remedies. Understanding business, and how different industries operate, leads to effective planning and strategy.
We combine these disciplines to bring unique skills to complex commercial collection.
