European Payment Orders (EPO) & Enforcement

We provide specialized legal assistance for the direct execution in Spain of payment orders issued within the European Union.

When a European creditor holds a European Payment Order (Regulation 1896/2006), the challenge often lies in the local enforcement. At ACYL Abogados, we act as your strategic partner in Spain, ensuring that your judicial title translates into the effective recovery of debts through the seizure of assets, bank accounts, or real estate.

We also act as a local counsel partner for European law firms requiring representation in Spain. Our team handles the full enforcement chain, from filing to asset recovery, allowing you to focus on your client relationship.

Streamlined Execution Process

Under the current EU framework, specifically the Brussels I bis Regulation, foreign judgments no longer require a declaration of enforceability (exequatur). This allows for a much faster procedure:

• Direct Filing: We file the enforcement request directly before the competent Spanish Courts.
• Asset Tracing: We utilize specialized judicial tools to locate the debtor's assets across the Spanish territory.
• Garnishment: Rapid intervention for the freezing of bank accounts and salaries.
