Loan default litigation is a legal process initiated when a borrower violates the repayment schedule stipulated in a loan agreement. In Georgia, where the volume of credit obligations is high, this service is vital for both creditors (banks, microfinance organizations, private lenders) and borrowers (individuals and legal entities). The dispute may involve mortgage-backed loans, business credits, or consumer loans. In the event of default, the creditor initiates enforcement procedures, which may include asset seizure and auction. On the other hand, the borrower needs protection from disproportionate penalties, debt restructuring, or suspension of enforcement. This service involves representing parties in court, arbitration, and the National Bureau of Enforcement.
