Micro Case Studies
Representative Experience
At ATB Legal, our approach to debt recovery is both assertive and strategic — aimed at resolving disputes efficiently while preserving our clients' commercial interests and relationships. Below are anonymised case studies illustrating how we’ve delivered results without unnecessary litigation. To mention a few:
1. Professional Fee Recovery Without Litigation
We represented a boutique consulting firm in recovering its unpaid professional fees from a corporate client that delayed settlement despite full delivery of services. Leveraging contractual clauses and a carefully calibrated sequence of legal notices, we structured persuasive correspondence that highlighted entitlement and potential escalation. The matter concluded through a negotiated settlement — avoiding court proceedings and preserving the client’s reputation.
2. Sender, Mover, and Warehouse: A Balanced Resolution to an Uninsured Fire Loss
We assisted a logistics company in resolving a claim arising from a consignment that was destroyed in a fire at a third‑party warehouse. The goods, sent by a commercial counterparty and stored temporarily by our client, were unfortunately uninsured, and the sender demanded full reimbursement. Through early intervention, precise legal positioning and calibrated engagement with all parties, we secured compensation for the sender without our client having to bear the loss, preserving commercial relationships and avoiding litigation.
3. Exit Dues Secured for a Professional Employee
We advised a senior professional who was denied final dues and benefits during her exit after raising internal concerns. Facing retaliatory dismissal and reputational risks, she approached us for support. Through methodical documentation of events, referencing applicable employment laws, and direct but respectful escalation to senior management, we secured full payment of her contractual entitlements — without the need to initiate formal action.
4. Corporate Recovery through Structured Repayment Plan
A regional car rental service approached us with a substantial receivable from a long-standing corporate client. Instead of commencing immediate litigation, we proposed a phased recovery plan: conducting a forensic reconciliation of invoices, issuing a statutory demand, and negotiating a staged repayment arrangement backed by limited security and written debt acknowledgements. Our client recovered a major portion of the outstanding dues — all without damaging the commercial relationship or entering a courtroom.
5. Enforcement Leverage for High-Value Professional Claim
We acted for a professional consultant who faced non-payment from a high-net-worth repeat client. The matter involved delays in investment-related reimbursements. By invoking default and interest provisions in the contract and issuing firm legal notices that suggested preparedness to litigate, we created sufficient leverage. The client settled the matter with a lump-sum payment at the pre-litigation stage
