Debt Recovery 

If you are owed money, prompt and strategic legal action may assist in recovering the debt.

Jordan Djundja Lawyers provide clear, commercially focused advice to individuals and businesses seeking to recover outstanding debts. In appropriate circumstances, legal costs associated with recovery proceedings may also be recoverable.

Commencing Proceedings

• Preparing and filing a Statement of Claim
• Serving court documents in accordance with procedural requirements
• Obtaining default judgment where a debtor fails to respond within the required time

Where a debtor disputes the claim, we provide representation throughout the litigation process to protect your interests.

Enforcement of Judgments

• Writs for the levy of property (seizure and sale of assets)
• Examination orders requiring a debtor to attend court and disclose financial circumstances
• Garnishee orders directing third parties to pay funds directly to the creditor

Our team assesses the most effective enforcement strategy based on the debtor’s financial position and available assets.

Bankruptcy & Insolvency Proceedings

In relation to individuals, we provide advice and representation in bankruptcy proceedings, including issuing bankruptcy notices and creditor’s petitions in the Federal Court where appropriate.

In relation to companies, we assist with statutory demands and winding-up proceedings. Where a company is insolvent, the Court may appoint a liquidator to realise assets and distribute funds in accordance with the Corporations Act.

We provide clear advice regarding the risks, costs and commercial considerations involved in insolvency proceedings before action is taken.

Our objective is to pursue recovery efficiently while minimising unnecessary expense and delay.
