Law Senate – Effective, Compliant, and Commercially Focused Recovery Solutions

 

Law Senate is a leading Indian law firm offering domestic and international debt recovery services that are legally sound, commercially sensible, and globally aligned. We are not a debt recovery agency or collection agency—we are a full-service law firm with deep expertise in resolving complex debt matters through legal means. From assisting start-ups and SMEs to advising multinational corporations, we support businesses in recovering debts and protecting their commercial interests in India and across borders. Whether you're dealing with a commercial debt, trade default, or enforcement of an arbitration award, Law Senate ensures that the collection process is handled through legal channels with minimal disruption to your business operations. Our experience extends to managing credit management issues for both Indian and foreign clients, with a particular focus on global debt recovery across different time zones.

The Necessity of Debt Recovery Services

In a global business environment, cash flow is the lifeblood of every enterprise. Payment delays and defaults can severely impact working capital, disrupt business information systems, and pose operational risks. At Law Senate, we understand these challenges and offer tailored legal solutions that address both the financial and legal dimensions of recovering debts. Our solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Instead, we design specific collection strategies based on the nature of the commercial debt, industry profile, and the debtor’s jurisdiction. From negotiation to litigation and enforcement, every step is executed with a focus on compliance, efficiency, and commercial outcomes.

PAN India Network with International Reach

With head offices in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, and associate law firms across all 25 Indian states, Law Senate provides PAN India legal coverage. This geographic spread enables us to act swiftly in any jurisdiction. For foreign clients, we operate seamlessly across time zones by collaborating with a wide network of international debt collection agencies, law firms, and commercial attorneys worldwide. We must clarify—we are not a debt collection agency, but a law firm that partners with international agencies when necessary to ensure the legal enforceability of your claims both in India and abroad.

Amicable Settlement Before Legal Action

We initiate each case by attempting a peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiation. Our legal team contacts debtors directly—often senior decision-makers—to propose structured settlements. Many debts are resolved without court intervention, often formalized through settlement deeds and payment restructuring.

Legal Notices and Collection Process

If amicable efforts fail, Law Senate escalates the matter legally by issuing demand notices in accordance with Indian laws, including:

  • The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
  • The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996
  • The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016

These notices serve as formal triggers, compelling many debtors to respond quickly to avoid litigation.

Insolvency Proceedings Under IBC, 2016

The IBC has revolutionized debt recovery in India. Law Senate represents operational and financial creditors before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to initiate insolvency proceedings. While not a traditional recovery method, insolvency pressure often results in pre-adjudication settlements, offering a practical route for clients seeking closure on large defaults.

Arbitration for Contractual Disputes

For contracts with arbitration clauses, we initiate domestic and international arbitration proceedings, often under rules such as UNCITRAL or ICC. If awards are passed in New York Convention countries, we assist in their enforcement in India through appropriate judicial channels. For non-convention countries, we pursue civil litigation under Indian law.

Civil and Criminal Litigation

When arbitration isn’t an option, we initiate civil suits, including Order 37 summary suits, for efficient disposal. In special cases involving cheque dishonor under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, we may also recommend criminal action—used cautiously, and only after assessing all civil remedies.

International Debt Collection Services

Law Senate assists Indian companies in recovering dues from foreign debtors and supports global clients in enforcing claims in India. We work closely with international debt collection agencies and law firms to align the recovery strategy with both Indian and foreign laws. Although we collaborate with these agencies, Law Senate is not a debt recovery agency, but a law firm that ensures that all steps taken are legally enforceable in the debtor’s jurisdiction. Our legal experts manage time-sensitive cases across time zones, ensuring quick coordination between stakeholders in India, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
