Strategic international enforcement and asset recovery support
International enforcement and asset recovery matters can be complex, time consuming and costly when faced with a difficult debtor. When tackling these issues, experience and an in depth understanding of the wide ranging legal and practical issues are essential.
We use our depth of experience to navigate complex cross-border issues and devise a strategic and creative approach to enforcing internationally. We'll help you identify and leverage available pressure points so you can achieve positive outcomes for your business. Key to this is our partners actively leading case teams so that you benefit from their experience and judgment.
Osborne Clarke LLP is prominent in large-value cases and its team is particularly active in disputes connected with technology, energy, natural resources and projects.
Our partners have been centrally involved in many of the leading international enforcement cases and numerous significant judgments in the English courts and the offshore jurisdictions. We have experience spanning enforcement in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North America and Asia. Members of our team obtained the English court's first worldwide receivership orders and pioneered the used of conspiracy proceedings in respect of the evasion of judgment debts. Along with market-leading international experience, we bring perseverance and innovation when solving enforcement problems.
Our experience and expertise benefits our clients not only in terms of devising effective strategies but also in terms of our ability to address complex legal issues efficiently and avoid unnecessary costs and delays.
