The go-to cross-border enforcement and asset recovery practice
Parties who lose at litigation or in arbitration don’t always honor the result. In these high-stakes scenarios, our dedicated enforcement team combines extensive litigation experience, investigative insight, and strategic thinking to ensure that our clients’ arbitration and litigation victories are meaningful.
Our enforcement team has acted in landmark cases that have shaped the law. Enforcement is a unique process, and we develop creative, multi-jurisdictional litigation strategies that utilize the most advantageous procedures and remedies to quickly and decisively facilitate enforcement and leverage favorable settlements.
Our proactive approach utilizes cutting-edge, forum-specific discovery and enforcement tools to gain an early advantage – often even before an award or judgment is rendered. Collaborating with our clients’ transactional and litigation counsel, we raise enforceability and asset recovery issues even before disputes arise, allowing clients to stay ahead of the curve by understanding and planning for dispute and recovery risks in advance.
Our team has particular experience with sovereign enforcement disputes and is fluent in the complex legal and political issues that arise when seeking to enforce a judgment or award against a foreign state and its instrumentalities. Recovery in sovereign cases can require a multidimensional approach involving both legal and diplomatic engagement, and we work collaboratively and in lockstep with our government affairs team to devise strategies effective at promoting prompt recovery.
“They handle complex, high-value stuff. They handle very well the cross-border work and offshore work. They have enormous experience.”
When involved in large-scale fraud actions, we help clients secure the ability to recover awards or judgments rendered in their favor using aggressive pre-judgment remedies. We also advise litigation funders and other financial entities considering investments in disputes or awards.
With lawyers on the ground around the world and in key jurisdictions, our powerful global platform allows us to work seamlessly with international partners to identify and pursue the best enforcement opportunities wherever they exist.
