Enforcement of Domestic and Foreign Judgments

Foreign judgments are not automatically enforceable in every country. Recognition and enforcement depend on the applicable law, treaties in force, the judgment’s requirements and the proceedings in which it was issued.

Matters We Handle

• Civil and commercial judgments and debt claims.
• Arbitral awards.
• Maintenance, custody, marriage and divorce judgments according to jurisdiction and law.

We study the judgment, documents, service and finality, identify requirements for recognition and enforcement or challenge, and coordinate with specialist colleagues in other countries when necessary.

We represent rights holders and parties against whom enforcement is sought, explaining the procedural route, documents and translations required in each case.
