DESCRIPTION OF THE STEP TRAINEESHIP PROVIDER

Business to business debt recovery, both in the Netherlands and
internationally. Bierens is the largest debt recovery law firm in the
Netherlands. We act on behalf of small and medium-sized companies,
large enterprises as well as multinationals, based on “No Win, No Fee.”
Bierens is unique in that we take care of both the out of court phase and
the judicial debt recovery process. This approach is successful to such
an extent that we are able to settle 90% of our cases out of court. In
terms of both our results and our low costs, we leave debt collection
agencies and bailiffs far behind.
