European Business Debt Recovery
Hammer Worldwide helps European digital businesses and agencies recover unpaid invoices — whether the client is in the US or elsewhere in Europe — on contingency, with a fast path to resolution.
Yes. Once a US debtor is involved, the recovery process runs entirely through US mechanics — often faster than pursuing the same claim through European courts. Distance isn't the obstacle it appears to be.
We also handle EU-to-EU claims, using formal cross-border recovery mechanisms built for exactly this situation — unpaid invoices between businesses in different EU countries.
A clear, honest review first — we'll tell you directly whether your claim looks collectible before anything moves forward. If we proceed, it starts with formal written notice to the debtor. Most cases resolve at that stage, before any further action is needed.
No. We work on contingency — a percentage of what's recovered, disclosed clearly before you commit, nothing owed if we don't collect.
Yes, significantly. Undisputed debts — where the client simply hasn't paid, without contesting the work or the amount — move fastest and have the clearest path to resolution. If the debtor has actively disputed the quality, scope, or amount, tell us early so we can give you an accurate read rather than a false start.
Meaningfully faster in most cases. Formal legal proceedings abroad are often slow and expensive before they even begin. Our process is built to resolve the majority of claims before reaching that stage at all.
