Our services
The international commodity trade can be a tough battlefield. Companies need to protect themselves and sometimes adopt a more proactive stance in their approach to contractual agreements. Contractual defaults on some terms and conditions can make the counterparties become an antagonizing enemy; fighting each other to protect their interests. Going through legal experts is not enough. To reach the goals of recovering debts, mitigating losses, protecting the Company’s name and integrity, actions and practical expertise is required. Debts can be made of unpaid credits, dispatch or demurrages not paid, of non-respect of specific terms such as interest due, differences between final price and provisional price when cargoes are priced against futures contracts. The concluding outcome is to recover all debts. Colossiens will put the resources and dedication to achieving this.
