Exporting to Europe on credit terms?

An unrivalled service

Exporting goods or services to Europe on credit terms brings with it all of the risks associated with credit trading in general, plus the potential added problems of chasing and recovering payment from overseas.

Even with the most effective credit checking and credit control, when confronted with both genuine and spurious disputes as a means of delaying or evading payment, as well as with plain old reluctance to settle up and a belief that the cost of cross border litigation will discourage him from legal action, the exporter can face problems in getting paid.
 

Recent statistics indicate a 600% increase in breaches of contract by failure to pay on time or at all in export transactions, and the cost of recovering payment from Europe through a solicitor, even using the new European Order for Payment, (EOP) procedure, can run into thousands, if not tens of thousands of pounds - whether or not payment is recovered.

Ellen Walker (F.Inst.Pa), at Glencairn Legal Services, (one of the first Paralegal Law Firms in England), can help. With multi-lingual skills, a solid understanding of international trade and transport within Europe and the legal knowledge required, she offers an unrivalled service to exporters –

• Help and advice in avoiding problems in the first place
• Free consultation and report regarding your problem
• Assistance with resolving disputes fairly and legally
• “No win, no fee” international debt collection service
• European legal recovery at low cost (and sometimes no cost!)

European debt collection and recovery isn’t the only thing on offer; contact Ellen too for friendly, low cost help and advice on a wide range of other corporate and commercial needs, as well as for assistance with defending claims and appealing judgments, either “in person” or though her low cost direct access barrister associate.
