Can a UK judgment be enforced in another jurisdiction?
Yes, in most cases a UK judgment can be enforced abroad, although the procedure varies depending on the destination jurisdiction. We advise on enforcement under the Brussels Recast Regulation (for EU-related claims pre-Brexit), the Lugano Convention, or through local procedures under common law or reciprocal enforcement treaties.
Can you assist in recovering assets located in offshore jurisdictions?
Absolutely. We have established working relationships with agents and legal counsel in offshore jurisdictions such as the British Virgin Islands, the Isle of Man, Cayman Islands and Malta. Asset tracing and enforcement strategies are adapted to local frameworks and banking secrecy considerations.
Do you act for debtors or only for creditors?
We act exclusively for creditor-side clients to avoid any conflict of interest. This includes private lenders, banks, trust companies, insolvency professionals and fiduciary officers.
Do I need a judgment before instructing recovery proceedings?
Not necessarily. In certain jurisdictions, it is possible to initiate pre-judgment remedies (e.g., freezing orders, disclosure applications) or negotiate settlements without formal litigation. We provide strategic pre-litigation advice and act on demand.
What if the debtor is a trust or a nominee entity?
We are experienced in unwinding layered structures involving trusts, nominees, and SPVs. We coordinate legal action to pierce asset protection vehicles and compel disclosure, often using court orders or local trustee obligations to obtain enforcement leverage.
Do you operate on a no-win, no-fee basis?
In select cases, yes. We may offer conditional fee arrangements or work alongside litigation funders, depending on case strength and asset traceability. Standard instructions are billed hourly or on a fixed-fee basis.
