Overview
When enforcement is needed
An award is only useful if the debtor pays. If it does not, the award must be recognised by a state court before enforcement. We handle the court stage and then work with enforcement officers to find and collect assets.
01
The debtor did not pay voluntarily
02
You have a foreign award against a Ukrainian company
03
You have an ICAC award against a foreign company
04
You need to find the debtor's assets
