Thank you for reaching out. Based on the information you’ve provided, it appears that there is a viable basis for pursuing an amicable settlement, notwithstanding the absence of a formally countersigned agreement. The existence of signed quotations, purchase orders, timesheets, invoices, and ongoing performance by both parties may be sufficient to demonstrate a contractual relationship and the defendant’s payment obligations, even in a cross-border context involving the UK and Switzerland. An initial step would typically involve a structured legal demand or settlement proposal, supported by the documentary evidence, with the aim of resolving the matter without commencing litigation.


I would be pleased to assist you with assessing the strength of your position, preparing a settlement strategy, and engaging with the counterpart on your behalf. Fees would depend on the scope of work required (e.g., document review, drafting a formal demand or settlement proposal, and correspondence with the defendant), and can be discussed once the next steps are clarified. Please feel free to let me know if you would like to proceed, and I can outline a proposed approach accordingly.


Sincerely,


Ascendance International Consulting
