A substantial part of our work concerns matters in which a documented financial obligation remains unpaid, goods or services have been supplied, an invoice remains outstanding, a cheque or other obligation has not been honored, a payment has been reversed after performance, or a dispute has arisen regarding amounts due under a commercial transaction.

The process begins with a structured review of the available material and the preparation of a clear factual record, including the identities of the parties, contractual terms, invoices, shipping and delivery records, payment data, correspondence, evidence of service performance and other relevant supporting documentation.

Unpaid Claims & Recovery Matters

Where a documented claim remains unresolved, the matter may progress from initial contact to a formal payment demand, written notice, further evidence preparation, organization of the claim file and referral for the next appropriate stage according to the nature of the matter.

The opening of a dispute with a bank, card issuer, payment service provider or processing platform does not replace the examination of the underlying contractual relationship and obligations between the parties.

Business & Commercial Disputes

In addition to recovery matters, FORTEN & CO. assists with the preparation and management of disputes involving companies, business partners, suppliers, customers and other parties to commercial arrangements.

The work may include document review, preparation of a chronology, organization of the parties' positions, assessment of disputed amounts, preparation of formal correspondence and organization of materials for arbitration, mediation or other appropriate proceedings.

Commercial Agreements & International Activity

FORTEN & CO. also assists with the preparation of commercial and inter-company agreements in English and Hebrew, including supply, services, distribution, cooperation, responsibility, payment and commercial-structure provisions.

Our areas of work also include business and financial planning, coordination of overseas business structures, company-formation support, assistance with U.S. EIN applications, business documentation, KYC / AML, source-of-funds documentation, banking compliance and international tax matters.

Documentation, Information & Evidence

Effective handling begins with documentation. Where appropriate, the work may include gathering and cross-referencing information from open sources, preserving correspondence, delivery documentation, transaction histories, corporate information and other materials required to establish a complete factual picture.
