International Practices · Foreign Judgment Enforcement

Our Foreign Judgment Enforcement practice helps businesses, financial institutions, investors, and private clients pursue recovery across borders. We advise on the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments and international arbitral awards, as well as the defence of recognition and enforcement proceedings.

Our team includes lawyers qualified in both the United States and Canada, enabling us to coordinate enforcement strategies across jurisdictions. We assess potential barriers to recognition, identify available avenues for recovery, and advise on asset preservation and related insolvency issues. We also work with counsel in other jurisdictions to align enforcement proceedings with our clients’ broader litigation and recovery objectives.

We combine strategic advocacy with a practical focus on recoverability. Whether seeking to enforce a judgment or award, negotiate a resolution, or resist enforcement, we develop approaches tailored to the assets, jurisdictions, and commercial interests involved.
