Debt Recovery Legal Services in Nairobi
Assertive and lawful debt recovery for businesses and financial institutions
How We Work
Step 1: Debt Assessment
We review the debt documentation, assess the enforceability of the claim, and evaluate the debtor's capacity to pay.
Step 2: Demand Letter
We issue a formal advocate's demand letter giving the debtor a specified period (typically 14 days) to pay or face legal proceedings.
Step 3: Negotiation & Payment Plans
Where the debtor engages, we negotiate payment plans or settlement amounts and document them in enforceable agreements.
Step 4: Court Proceedings
If the debtor fails to pay, we file suit and pursue the matter through the courts, seeking summary judgment where the debt is undisputed.
Step 5: Judgment Enforcement
Once we obtain a judgment, we enforce it through garnishee proceedings, attachment of assets, or execution against the debtor's property.
Debt Recovery Legal Services in Nairobi
Unpaid debts are a persistent challenge for businesses and financial institutions in Kenya. Effective debt recovery requires a structured legal approach that combines firmness with compliance. LHK Advocates provides debt recovery services that maximize the prospects of collection while staying within the bounds of Kenyan law.
Our debt recovery process begins with pre-litigation strategies including demand letters and negotiated payment plans. When these fail, we pursue recovery through the courts, obtaining judgments and enforcing them through garnishee orders, attachment and sale of assets, and other execution mechanisms available under the Civil Procedure Act.
For secured debts, we advise on the enforcement of security including statutory power of sale under the Land Act for mortgaged properties, appointment of receivers, and realization of other security. We ensure that all enforcement actions comply with the mandatory notice requirements and procedural safeguards to avoid challenges by the debtor.
Key Benefits
