As trade between countries keeps growing, recovering debts – from individuals, companies or public bodies – is an increasingly pressing need. Without a specialised organisation, it is also a complex and costly process.
Recovering a cross-border claim often has a very low success rate when it is entrusted to firms that are not specialised or established in the field, not least because of the complexity of international regulations.
G.I.S.S. acts as the main point of contact for anyone who needs this service. We provide personalised, detailed and analytical advice that highlights the critical issues of each case and proposes the most suitable solutions – first in managing international commercial relationships, then in handling any default – working with partner law firms around the world.
