A 51-year-old business owner engaged EAS Legal after his company was owed more than $160,000 in unpaid invoices by a longstanding commercial customer.
Despite repeated requests for payment, the debt remained outstanding and the relationship between the businesses had deteriorated.
We reviewed the contractual documents and correspondence, developed a targeted recovery strategy and issued formal demands supported by a clear litigation position. Rather than allowing the dispute to become unnecessarily prolonged, we maintained commercial pressure while leaving the door open to a sensible resolution.
The dispute was resolved without a final trial, with our client recovering the substantial majority of the outstanding debt under an enforceable settlement arrangement.
The result allowed our client to recover significant funds while avoiding the additional time, cost and uncertainty associated with prolonged commercial litigation.
