Maître Yankel Bensimhon

Profile

Maître Yankel Bensimhon is an attorney admitted to the Paris Bar (Barreau de Paris). The firm focuses exclusively on commercial debt recovery — formal notices, payment orders, summary judgments, full proceedings, and enforcement. Foreign creditors with debtors in France represent a significant share of the practice.

The practice approach is built on three principles:

• Transparent, flat-fee pricing wherever possible. The €189 ex VAT formal notice is the most visible example — but every engagement is preceded by a written quote with no hidden costs.
• Pure specialisation. The firm does not dilute its expertise across unrelated practice areas. B2B debt recovery is technical and time-sensitive — it deserves a dedicated team.
• Proof over promise. Court decisions obtained for clients are publicly available as anonymised PDFs. €5.5M+ recovered to date.

Languages

The firm operates in French (mother tongue, court language) and English (full client handling). Clients of any nationality are accepted, with file management entirely in English when relevant.
