The greatest risk in commercial litigation is securing a favorable judgment only to find that the debtor has liquidated their assets and emptied their bank accounts during the proceedings. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we mitigate this risk through the strategic use of Interim Measures to Secure the Claim. Under the Civil Procedure Code of Georgia, we can apply for an emergency court order to "freeze" the status quo before the main trial concludes or even before the lawsuit is officially filed. This is a tactical strike designed to prevent the dissipation of assets and guarantee that your eventual victory translates into actual financial recovery.
Our legal team specializes in drafting urgent, high-stakes applications that demonstrate to the court a valid "danger of non-enforcement." Georgian courts require a high standard of proof to interfere with property rights before a final verdict; we must convince the judge that without immediate intervention, the enforcement of a future decision would be impossible or significantly difficult. We act with extreme speed to obtain orders for the seizure (attachment) of real estate, vehicles, and corporate shares, as well as the freezing of corporate and personal bank accounts across all Georgian financial institutions.
Crucially, these applications are typically reviewed by the court within 24 to 48 hours and, most importantly, are often granted ex parte—without prior notification to the debtor. This element of surprise is vital; it prevents the debtor from moving funds offshore or transferring property to third parties upon learning of the impending litigation. Once the assets are legally secured, the dynamic of the dispute changes immediately. A debtor whose accounts are frozen is far more likely to settle the debt quickly to regain operational control of their business.
