ILLUSTRATIVE MATTERS
How these situations can unfold
Illustrative scenarios, not actual case studies. The situations below are fictional examples created to explain our approach. They do not describe clients, completed engagements, outcomes or verified experience.
Overdue manufacturing invoice
A European buyer withholds the final payment after delivery, citing quality concerns. The supplier has invoices, shipping records and email acceptance.
Possible approach: Potential approach: review acceptance evidence, quantify the claim, issue a targeted demand and explore a documented settlement.
Distributor stops responding
An overseas brand is owed payments by its Chinese distributor, which has ceased communications.
Possible approach: Potential approach: review payment terms and dispute clause, preserve evidence, assess counterparty information and consider formal recovery options.
Payment dispute after partial delivery
A foreign seller has delivered part of an order, while the buyer alleges incomplete performance and refuses the full invoice.
Possible approach: Potential approach: reconcile performance records, assess set-off arguments and develop a commercially proportionate claim.
