Judgment Enforcement

Winning a judgment is only the first step; enforcing it can be equally challenging. Our judgment enforcement team helps clients collect what they’re legally owed, using tools such as asset discovery, wage garnishments, liens, and property seizures. We work diligently to locate and recover assets, turning court victories into real results for our clients.

Skillfully navigating domestic and international laws, we employ a multi-step process to maximize the prospect of a financial recovery:

  • Issuing information subpoenas to individuals and entities that may have information regarding the debtor’s assets

  • Serving restraining notices on individuals and entities (such as banks) that have assets belonging to the debtor

  • Serving an income execution on the debtor’s employer

  • Deposing the debtor and other individuals and entities that have information regarding the debtor’s assets

Seeking enforcement of court judgments in various courts across the globe by uncovering assets either in the name of the debtor or against other parties who hold those assets that the debtor is attempting to camouflage

Where necessary, we also engage in post-judgment proceedings to uncover the debtor’s assets and/or information pertaining to such assets. We have developed strong working relationships with investigators whose experience is often critical to successful enforcement when debtors hide their assets.

Our firm has successfully enforced multiple judgments, helping clients recover assets and resolve complex legal battles. From uncovering hidden assets to cross-border enforcement, we are committed to securing compliance with court judgments.
