DESCRIPTION OF THE STEP TRAINEESHIP PROVIDER

OUR DNA
Established in 1952, Bierens Debt Recovery Lawyers is the leading law
firm specialising in national and international B2B debt collection. We
employ 115+ debt collection specialists who solve cases from payment
disputes to complex legal matters across 35 countries.
Our mission
The consequences can be huge for companies if a client does not pay.
Not only can this lead to a loss of income or cash flow, in some cases, it
can stagnate growth, lead to employee resignation or withhold the ability
to hire new personnel. That is why our mission is to serve justice for all
companies that have worked hard for their well-earned money. Our
mission goes beyond our debt collection services, as we embrace
multiple initiatives to improve payment behaviour between companies.
