The Hard Truth
Winning in Court Was Only Half the Battle.
You have the judgment, arbitral award, or court order in hand—yet the money has not arrived. In France, a legal victory does not automatically translate into payment, especially for international creditors. The real challenge begins after the decision is issued.
The period between winning and getting paid is where most creditors lose. This is where we step in.
The Debtor is Ignoring You
They're betting you lack the local legal power to force them to pay.
Assets Are Hidden or in France
They've moved funds, or their only attachable assets are within French borders, beyond your reach.
Cross-Border Complexity
If your judgment is from outside France, it holds no direct power here without a specific French legal procedure (Exequatur).
Time is Wasting
Every day of delay increases the risk the debtor becomes insolvent or disappears.
Collection Agencies Send Letters. We Seize Assets.

Your Path to Enforcement, Clarified.
Find clear answers to your most pressing questions and take the final step toward turning your French or foreign judgment or arbitral award into recovery.
With our accelerated procedures, asset freezing can happen in days. Full recognition (Exequatur) typically takes 1-4 months, after which enforcement is immediate.
We initiate with professional asset tracing. If no recoverable assets are found, we will advise you, so you risk nothing.
Almost certainly yes. We enforce judgments from the EU, UK, US, Canada, Switzerland, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and most other jurisdictions through the Exequatur process or mutual recognition agreements.
For protective seizures (Saisie Conservatoire), often no—this element of surprise is crucial. For standard enforcement after a French title exists, the bailiff's seizure act itself is the notification.
We are lawyers. This gives us the authority to file court procedures, obtain seizure orders, and provide litigation cover. An agency can only send requests; we can command legal action.
Your Judgment is Your Right to Be Paid. Let Us Enforce That Right.
