Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments and Arbitral Awards
We advise clients on the recognition and enforcement in Cyprus of judgments and arbitral awards obtained in other jurisdictions, as well as on the Cyprus aspects of enforcement strategies involving assets located abroad.
Enforcement is often a separate and strategically important stage of a dispute, particularly where assets are held through corporate structures or across multiple jurisdictions.
What we advise on
- Recognition of foreign judgments
- Enforcement of foreign judgments in Cyprus
- Recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards
- European judgment enforcement mechanisms
- Enforcement under applicable international conventions
- Asset identification and preservation
- Freezing and protective measures
- Enforcement against shares and corporate assets
- Challenges to recognition and enforcement
- Cross-border enforcement strategies
- Coordination with foreign counsel
We aim to consider enforcement from an early stage of the dispute, particularly where the location and preservation of assets may ultimately determine the practical value of a successful judgment or award.
