This area covers when English courts recognise and enforce judgments and arbitral awards issued abroad, and how foreign disputes can be pursued within England and Wales. A solicitor helps clients assess whether a foreign judgment can be recognised, what steps are needed to enforce it, and how to gather the necessary evidence and documents for filing. They also advise on potential challenges to recognition, and on practical options for enforcement such as registering a foreign judgment, obtaining a judgment debtor’s assets, and coordinating with cross‑border insolvency or asset tracing where relevant.
The solicitor handles complex procedural steps: confirming jurisdiction of the foreign court, applying for recognition or enforcement under applicable treaties, statutes (where relevant) and the common law, preparing affidavits and witness statements, and navigating remedies such as charging orders, attachment of earnings, or seizure of assets. They liaise with counterparties, courts, and enforcement authorities, and ensure procedures comply with the Civil Procedure Rules and related enforcement regimes across England and Wales.
