Four questions to confirm first

What the exact principal debt structure is.
What kind of guarantee package exists and how many parties are involved.
Whether the debtor and guarantors are still responsive or already in active default or asset distress.
Whether the immediate goal is filing, preservation, enforcement, or a structured liability review first.

First batch of materials

Loan documents, amendments, guarantee files, facility documents, and repayment records.
Demand notices, service records, reconciliations, and post-default communications.
Party identity records, asset clues, and related litigation or enforcement status.
Recourse or subrogation proof where relevant.

When direct lawyer follow-up is advisable

Preservation or enforcement is already under consideration.
The guarantee structure is layered or procedurally contested.
There are usable asset clues but timing is tight.
The matter forms part of a batch recovery or finance portfolio issue.
