Conclusion: In case we succeed in Court proceedings and we obtain a positive court Decision after which the creditors - client’s receivables are reimbursed in total.

After we obtain the enforcement resolution the Court proceedings are officially over and the stated Resolution is being enforced by the court by blocking the account of the debtor or seizure of assets and transferring the money from the account of debtor to the account of the creditor - client.

Than, our Law firm is entitled to an attorney reward in the amount(success fee).
