This is where our work begins.
What we do
What we do for this profile.
Five services that a bank or lender engages us for. You can start with any of them; the claim viability opinion is the usual way in.
- 01Claim viability opinionA lawyer from Ontier assesses your claim and tells you whether it is actionable, through which route, and what documentation is missing.
- 02Portfolios and assigned claimsIf you buy or service assigned public-sector credit: we verify title and claim in blocks.
- 03Claim before the ECHRWe take your unenforced ruling to Strasbourg, where the State answers for what its bodies do not pay.
- 04Enforcement against the StateWe follow the European ruling through to payment: an enforceable title against the State, and attachment if it comes to that.
- 05End-to-end managementThe whole route in one engagement, from the first missed invoice to the payment of the award.
How we run it
One person accountable for the whole journey. No changing your point of contact along the way.
We gather the documents, assess the claim and set the strategy for all three phases at once. You know from the start where the whole route is going.
