BaghdadiLaw’s experience in foreign judgment enforcement

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to foreign judgment enforcement, with detailed knowledge of the distinction between recognition requirements and subsequent enforcement in the requested country. We handle recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments where the debtor has assets or interests. We connect the judgment, its status and service history to local requirements, addressing challenges or earlier payments.

We examine jurisdiction, finality, notification, translations and the relevant treaty or local framework. We prepare recognition and enforcement applications, respond to objections and coordinate local follow-up.

We coordinate copies, translations and supporting records, prepare recognition or enforcement requests and answer objections. We handle representation, available measures and settlement, keeping information consistent between the originating and enforcing countries within the engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Before requesting foreign judgment enforcement advice.

Does a foreign judgment become enforceable merely because it is final?

No. Finality is one part of the assessment. Identify the issuing court, service, parties, obligation and proposed enforcement country, then examine the recognition requirements and possible objections before preparing an execution plan.

Can enforcement begin while an appeal is pending?

The answer depends on finality, enforceability, any stay, the type of instrument, and local procedure. The judgment and procedural status must be checked.

Should a payment plan be accepted?

Only after evaluating affordability, security, admissions, default consequences, enforcement preservation, costs, and whether the arrangement is properly documented.

How are fees set?

By the question, documents, urgency and deliverable. We confirm scope and fees before work; additional work is agreed separately.

How is my information handled?

Confidentially under professional and privacy obligations, subject to legally required or permitted disclosures. Agree the secure handling method before sharing originals or highly sensitive information.

Does advice include representation?

Representation begins with an agreed engagement covering the responsible lawyer, forum, work and fees. Filing, appearances, notarisation and negotiation are included when agreed. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law and decisions of the competent authority.
