ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AND ARBITRAL AWARDS
Effective enforcement is essential to the value of any judgment, arbitral award or legal claim. Our team advises clients on the full range of enforcement and asset recovery strategies, from securing assets at the outset of a dispute to enforcing court judgments and arbitral awards in France and across jurisdictions.
We have extensive experience in obtaining and challenging conservatory and enforcement measures, including asset preservation, interim relief and cross-border enforcement proceedings. Our approach is tailored to maximize recovery while ensuring that enforcement measures are both effective and proportionate.
We advise clients at every stage of their dispute, whether seeking to secure or enforce their rights or defending against enforcement measures that are unfounded, disproportionate or procedurally defective.
Working closely with a trusted network of enforcement officers, local counsel and other professionals in France and internationally, we deliver coordinated and effective enforcement strategies in complex domestic and cross-border matters.
