Starting with our examination of the recovery prospects, in the further course the out-of-court settlement of your recovery claims has always priority for us. As a result time consuming recovery proceedings before court are avoided. If a legal dispute should be unavoidable in an individual case, we can have recourse to our expert support at home and abroad through our network, taking the jurisdiction in question into due account.
No cure – no pay

No cure – no pay

No recovery, no fee - this principle applies to our recovery management. We keep the costs incurred low and mainly draw the recoveries to an early conclusion by mutual solutions. In case of success, we charge our fee as a percentage of the recovery proceeds achieved. Depending on the amount of the proceeds, individual agreements are also possible.
