Pre-Legal Debt Recovery Referrals for Commercial Lawyers
Commercial law practices encounter clients with unpaid debts regularly. Before litigation is warranted, Merion's commission-only pre-legal recovery resolves the majority of commercial B2B debts without court.
Pre-legal recovery: the step before court
Litigation is expensive, slow, and uncertain — particularly for debts where the amount in dispute does not justify the cost of proceedings. Merion sits in the space between a letter of demand and court: professional recovery on commission, with no cost to the client unless funds are actually recovered.
Referral before litigation
Resolve debts commission-only before incurring court filing fees, counsel fees, and the time of your client and your practice. For many commercial debts, Merion achieves resolution without the parties ever entering a courtroom.
Complement your practice — not a competitor
Merion is not a law firm and does not provide legal services. Where pre-legal recovery does not resolve the matter, Merion hands the matter back to the legal practitioner's preferred litigation path with a documented recovery record.
No cost to client unless recovered
Commission-only means your client pays nothing unless Merion recovers funds. There is no retainer, no engagement fee, and no disbursements charged upfront. Easy to recommend with confidence.
Documented, compliant
Merion maintains a full paper trail — all correspondence, debtor contact, and negotiation is documented. If the matter subsequently proceeds to litigation, the recovery record is available to support the legal file.
