What is Debt Recovery?
Debt recovery refers to the legal process of seeking to recover unpaid debts from individuals or businesses. It can involve negotiation, issuing formal demands, or taking legal action through the courts to obtain judgment and enforce payment.
At Browne Legal, we approach every case strategically by assessing the likelihood of success, identifying enforceable assets, and ensuring compliance with Irish civil and commercial law at each stage.

4. Obtaining Judgment
- In the absence of a defence, we apply for summary judgment.
- If contested, our solicitors represent you to obtain judgment efficiently.

- Sheriff’s execution to seize assets.
- Judgment mortgage registration over debtor property.
- Attachment of earnings or instalment orders.
