合同欠款始终是企业挥之不去的“顽疾”。在企业经营过程中，无论是处于经营上升期还是处于经营下滑期，欠款问题都是一个企业最头疼的问题，欠款过多，导致会计账簿账龄过长，严重甚至导致呆坏账，最终会损害一个企业的营利能力和商业信誉。
而在欠款问题中，律师能够做到的是前期完善合同，规避法律风险，和后期通过诉讼解决纠纷等等。这些法律问题都会成为我们作为企业保驾护航者角色的工作重点。对于防范和解决企业合同欠款问题，我认为应当从以下几个方面分析：
首先，应当建立完善的企业合同档案。对于企业对外签署的每一份合同，都应当做好完整妥当的备案，并且录入企业数据库，以备将来对于合同的监管和查档。缺乏合同的整理备案，往往使得企业在遇到欠款纠纷时，一时间找不到与之对应的合同，陷入被动之中。在想到解决纠纷的前提下，首先对于我们掌握的证据和材料，应当做到能够在短时间内找到和查询到。
其次，应对企业客户做好分类。企业在进行贸易往来中，往往会遇到各种各样的客户，这些客户可能来自于同一行业，但更多的可能是来自于不同的行业。而对这些不同行业的客户进行分类和整理，就是我们最重要的工作之一。因为对于企业来讲，长期客户往往因为相互信任，偿债的比例往往较大，即使一时欠款，但是从长远来看，还款的概率也远超那些短期合作的客户。对于长期客户的欠款行为，我们更应通过合同制约和协商解决，以避免破坏双方良好的合作氛围。而对于短期合作的客户，我们更应当加倍注意，在合同制定上应当比长期客户更加严格，而解决纠纷也应当协商和诉讼并重。
再次，对于欠款应当及时向对方出具《对账函》。对账函的作用是确定双方的欠款数额、欠款时间和还款日期，对于确认债权人和债务人的债权债务关系具有决定性的意义。而且，如果对方签署了对账函，等于承认了债权，能够起到诉讼时效中断，甚至重新确立诉讼时效的作用。在长期欠款的案件中，往往债务人的还款意愿很低，导致债务经年还不上，而我国民法通则规定的一般诉讼时效期限是2年，所以，对于一个企业来讲，往往是诉讼时效过去，债务人还没还款，这样对于企业来讲，诉讼风险就会很大。
最后，不要害怕诉讼解决纠纷。诉讼虽然是解决债务问题的最终方案，但很可能是最有效的方案。如果企业掌握充分的证据，那么胜诉的几率还是非常大的，因此企业不应当惧怕诉讼风险，而应当积极准备应诉，在面临风险的时候，做到防控风险，会同律师和法务，将诉讼面临的风险降低到最低的级别。这样做一方面使得胜诉的几率变大，另一方面会使企业发现以前没有注意的企业管理方面的问题。
总之，一个企业在经营之中，并不害怕合同欠款，而应当妥善处理合同欠款问题。在平时对合同的管理中，和遇到合同纠纷的处理上，都要按照规范的流程控制和有效的风险管理机制，使得合同欠款问题在规范运作下得到妥善解决。
