A victory in international arbitration is only half the battle. An arbitral award worth millions is priceless on paper but worthless until it is converted into actual assets. The real challenge begins when the losing party refuses to voluntarily comply and its assets are located in various countries, including Georgia. At this stage, your award risks becoming a mere piece of paper unless you have a partner who intimately understands the local legal procedures and can compel the debtor to honor their obligation. The team at Legal Sandbox Georgia is your strategic ally, ensuring that your legal victory culminates in a financial result.
Our approach to enforcing foreign arbitral awards is built on a flawless synthesis of international standards and local procedures. We manage the process that converts an international decision into a domestically enforceable judgment. As a signatory to the 1958 New York Convention, Georgia is obligated to recognize and enforce arbitral awards from other member states, yet the process demands a deep understanding of the local Civil Procedure Code. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, represents your interests in court, and ensures the process is handled effectively. Often, a debtor's assets are scattered across multiple countries, so we act as your central strategic hub, coordinating enforcement actions with our network of partner law firms in other key jurisdictions. This ensures a unified and synchronized approach, maximizing the chances of a full recovery on your claim. Our mission is to convert your legal triumph into a tangible financial success.
