Strategic fee structure for complex B2B recovery matters
LEGATUM & PARTNERS does not apply a generic pricing grid to complex commercial claims. Each mandate is defined after reviewing the amount at stake, the evidential strength of the case, the debtor’s position, the urgency and any cross-border dimension.
Targeted recovery sequences, controlled negotiation and evidence-led pressure before any judicial escalation is considered.
Written scope before action
Chronology, account statement, debtor objections and procedural options are structured before a formal step is taken.
Recovery strategy validated
Where appropriate, the file is steered with authorised professionals, with external costs approved before engagement.
No automatic judicial cost
The fee structure is defined in writing before intervention, according to the value of the claim, the evidential position, the level of dispute, debtor behaviour and the phase concerned.
Commission on the amounts effectively recovered, according to the terms set out in the mandate or applicable agreement.
Assessment fees, evidential analysis, strategy, reinforced reminder or preparation of the case according to the documents provided.
Fixed fee or judicial phase fees where provided, with external costs approved in advance when necessary.
For companies entrusting several matters, a monthly engagement may be agreed after a portfolio review. The written agreement specifies the scope, number of active matters, reporting arrangements, management committees and the terms applicable to new proceedings.
No engagement is started without prior client approval of the scope, the relevant phase and the applicable fees or costs.
After acceptance, the mandate, invoice and payment instructions are sent through one clear process. Where an advance payment applies, the relevant phase starts after validation and receipt of payment.
Fee arrangements are defined according to the case, its amount, its complexity, the documents available and the stage of intervention. They may include a commission on amounts effectively recovered, fixed assessment fees or judicial phase fees, and external costs approved in advance when necessary.
Necessary external costs, including lawyer, enforcement officer, registry or procedural costs, are approved in advance with the client and handled according to the terms agreed in the mandate.
LEGATUM & PARTNERS primarily handles high-stakes B2B claims involving financial, evidential, strategic, litigation or international issues.
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable agreement, fees are expressed excluding tax and are subject to applicable VAT. External costs are handled according to their nature and supporting documents.
No. Judicial costs, lawyer fees, enforcement officer fees, registry fees, service or enforcement costs are approved in advance with the client when they are necessary for the case.
Three separate routes are available. A quotation provides a proposal free of charge before you commit. A consultation is chargeable when you require a personalised answer, analysis or recommendations. To place a debt recovery matter, the initial submission is free: the engagement begins only after review, a written proposal and acceptance of the mandate.
You are considering an engagement and want to know its scope and price before committing: receivables audit, creation or organisation of an internal recovery function, team training, outsourced reminders or operational support. After qualifying your requirement, we issue a tailored proposal.
You have a question or situation to analyse without immediately placing a recovery matter: difficulty with a debtor, reminder strategy, organisational diagnostic or recommendations concerning your recovery function. This analysis and feedback service is chargeable.
Standard: €200 excl. VAT
Feedback within 48 business hours.
Priority: €400 excl. VAT
The same analysis, handled as a priority within 24 business hours.
Submit the initial claim information free of charge. We check whether we can act, review the matter and issue a written proposal setting out the engagement, fees and mandate terms. No recovery action begins before your written acceptance.
Both options provide the same level of analysis. The priority fee applies only to the shorter processing time. The 48 or 24 business-hour period begins after the request has been accepted, our availability confirmed, payment received and all necessary material supplied. Feedback is delivered within the agreed scope. The fees cover a separate service and are not deducted from any later engagement. No paid service or recovery action begins without prior written approval.
LEGATUM & PARTNERS provides strategic, organisational and operational support in receivables management and carries out amicable debt recovery in accordance with the applicable framework. The firm is not a law firm and does not perform work reserved to regulated legal professions. Where a qualified professional is required, that work is arranged separately.
