You know how it goes: you deliver top work to a client, send the invoice, and then... silence. Or worse, you hear rumors that the same client is emptying their bank account or selling assets to escape financial pressure. Frustrating, right? Fortunately, as an entrepreneur, you have an ace up your sleeve: prejudgment attachment. This is a smart way to secure your money before it's too late, without having to go through years of litigation.
Why prejudgment attachment can be your salvation
Imagine being able to turn off the money tap of your non-payer. Prejudgment attachment does exactly that: it places a temporary hold on their bank account, inventory, house, or even outstanding invoices from their customers. This prevents them from siphoning off assets while you're still gathering evidence. It's not a definitive seizure, as the judge must first give permission. But such an attachment immediately puts pressure on. Many entrepreneurs see their money come in as soon as the bailiff calls, because nobody wants a frozen account.
This remedy is ideal when you have a solid claim, such as unpaid invoices, and you feel the other party cannot be trusted. The beauty? You don't have to wait for a final judgment; attachment gives you immediate recovery security.
Fed up with a non-payer? Prejudgment attachment sets the balance right. At Kesting Legal, I am happy to help you with a no-obligation consultation to see if this fits your situation.
