Executory proceeding
For obligations backed by enforceable instruments. It is the shortest route when the documentation is in order.
When it appliesPromissory note, bill of exchange, secured contract
Legal collections: when the amicable route is exhausted
Not every portfolio can be recovered through negotiation. When the debtor stops responding, systematically breaks agreements, or the amount justifies the litigation investment, legal action stops being the last resort and becomes the right decision. We handle the entire process: from case assessment to enforcement of the judgment.
01 / Proceedings we handle
Three routes, and choosing wrong is costly
The route determines the time, the cost and the real likelihood of collecting.
Payment-order proceeding (monitorio)
For documented obligations without an enforceable instrument, when the amount does not justify a lengthy proceeding.
When it appliesInvoices, account statements, emails
Ordinary proceeding
For cases that require a prior declaration of the right or that face a substantive dispute over the obligation.
When it appliesDisputed debt, challenged guarantees
Choosing the route is not a formality. That is why every case is assessed before filing suit: instrument, amount, documentation and traceable assets. If the case file will not hold up, we tell you.
02 / Precautionary measures
Secure assets before you win
Winning a lawsuit against a debtor with no assets is winning a piece of paper. The difference between a favorable judgment and money recovered almost always lies in precautionary measures and when they are requested.
We pursue attachments and prohibitions on transfer of the identified assets at the right procedural moment, so the debtor’s estate is not emptied while the case moves forward. When the debtor has assets that are not visible at first glance, the case is supported by our asset tracing.
Every asset secured is an asset that can no longer be sold.

04 / The litigation path
From case assessment to money back
Four stages. The third one decides the outcome.
01
Assessment
We review the instrument, the amount and whether the debtor has assets.
02
Lawsuit
Executory, payment-order or ordinary, depending on what the case file can support.
03
Measures
Attachment and prohibition on transfer of assets, at the right procedural moment.
04
Enforcement
Judicial auction or settlement, and the money back in the portfolio.
05 / Deadline control
More is lost to missed deadlines than to weak arguments
The alert goes off ahead of time, not on the due date.
We monitor the critical deadlines in every case file centrally and with alerts, not at the discretion of the lawyer handling the case.
For a portfolio of hundreds of simultaneous cases, that operational difference is what separates a litigation operation that recovers money from one that merely piles up open lawsuits.
06 / Visibility for the creditor
Your litigation portfolio, without having to call the lawyer
The most common complaint from risk departments is not knowing where their litigation portfolio stands. We solve it with access to information and real-time updates: procedural status of each case, upcoming steps, measures in place and recovery forecast.
And underneath it all, the portfolio audit that sets what to sue first, and the pre-legal collections that keep running in parallel while an agreement is still possible.
07 / FAQ
What we're always asked
Ask another question ↗01When is it better to sue and when to keep negotiating?
It depends on the amount, the quality of the documentation and whether the debtor has traceable assets. A lawsuit against an insolvent debtor with no assets is usually an expense, not an investment. That is why we assess every case before recommending legal action.
02Can written-off debt be recovered?
Yes. A portfolio written off for accounting purposes remains legally enforceable as long as the statute of limitations has not run. It is one of the segments where the most value is recovered, precisely because the institution has already given it up as lost.
03What if the obligation is about to become time-barred?
That is the first thing we check. The portfolio audit identifies statute-of-limitations and nullity risks so we can prioritize the cases where there is still time to act.
04In which countries do you handle court proceedings?
Ecuador, Peru and Colombia, with our own lawyers in each country and a single case file for the creditor, with no correspondent firms.
