Debt Collection & Recovery Lawyers in Nairobi
Recover what you are owed through lawful and effective legal action
How We Work
Step 1: Claim Assessment
We review your documentation including invoices, contracts, delivery notes, and correspondence to assess the strength and enforceability of the debt claim.
Step 2: Formal Demand
We issue an advocate's demand letter requiring payment within a specified period, making clear the legal consequences of continued non-payment.
Step 3: Negotiated Settlement
If the debtor engages, we negotiate payment plans or lump-sum settlements and document them in enforceable consent agreements.
Step 4: Court Proceedings
We file a suit for the recovery of the debt, applying for summary judgment where the claim is clear and undisputed.
Step 5: Judgment Enforcement
We execute the court judgment through garnishee orders, warrants of attachment, prohibitory orders, or auctioneering of the debtor's assets.
Debt Collection & Recovery Lawyers in Nairobi
Outstanding debts can cripple a business's cash flow and, if left unrecovered, erode profitability. LHK Advocates provides professional debt collection services for businesses in Nairobi, combining legal rigour with commercial pragmatism to maximize recovery rates and minimize the cost of collection.
Our debt collection practice serves businesses of all sizes, from SMEs chasing unpaid invoices to large corporations managing portfolios of non-performing receivables. We handle the collection process from the initial demand letter through court proceedings and judgment enforcement.
We understand that every debt has a story and that the optimal recovery strategy depends on the debtor's circumstances, the strength of the documentation, and the cost-benefit analysis of pursuing the claim. We provide honest assessments and recommend the most effective course of action for each case.
