Enforcement and Asset Recovery

Litigation and arbitration victories are meaningless unless the debt is collectable. Long before an award or judgment is obtained, we advise our clients on the feasibility of enforcing any award or judgment and asset collectability.  Enforcement is a creative process, and we employ unique, multijurisdictional strategies and remedies to fast and seamlessly facilitate enforcement and leverage favorable settlements. Our enforcement team uses the full legal armoury, combining extensive litigation experience, investigative insight, and strategic thinking to obtain results for our clients.

With experienced investigators and experts ‘in the field’, our global network allows us to identify and pursue the best enforcement opportunities wherever they exist.

We understand that asset recovery projects are costly and burdensome. Where appropriate, and subject to local regulations, we assist our clients with exploring external funding solutions, such as litigation funding. We have longstanding relationships with prominent litigation funders based in the United States and the MENA region.
