Seniors in the profession, what is the solution for the same?
Please keep in mind that initiating proceedings will bring no good as the case will get dragged out - like all other cases and your name might be revealed by Bar & Bench or LiveLaw, which can discourage clients. In sum, I would suggest not to take coercive steps and be steady with the soft approach.
A pissed off client/ individual never pays. You can ask them nicely. If that does not work, keep badgering them every week.
If that does not cut it and if you know other persons in their circle, start dropping hints casually that your client is almost bankrupt and may go belly up soon. Ask them to be careful in their dealings with them. Call key persons in their office and ask them if they are paid and spread panic.
Hire gig workers and others to send anonymous letters to their vendors and landlord regarding risk of default. If he still does not blink and is a company, get email confirmation and file ibc If dent above 1 cr OR file a suit.
If you tell his employees, landlords and other vendors that hon'ble rascal sir/ madam has not paid (which is factually correct), in which universe is it illegal?
Maybe papa/ mumma bankrolls you or you are on retainer in a lala firm living in your lala land. That is y you don't understand the importance of maintaining healthy cash flow or how things work for 1st gen lawyers trying to just survive with honest work.
Anyways, people don't base their life on legally india posts. Good day.
