PLUS THENEUTRALS.ORG™.
1,500+ certified neutrals across 80+ jurisdictions. Mediation, expert determination, and neutral evaluation — working alongside WLA's legal co-practice.
Winning an arbitral award is only the beginning. Enforcing it across multiple jurisdictions — where the respondent holds assets — requires coordinated legal action in each territory simultaneously. WLA co-practices the full enforcement chain: recognition, enforcement proceedings, asset freezing, and recovery — across every jurisdiction where assets are held.
- New York Convention enforcement in 170+ signatory states
- ICSID award enforcement — direct enforcement under Art. 54
- Parallel asset freezing orders across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously
- Asset tracing — working with WLA's financial investigation partners
- Enforcement-resistant structure unwinding — corporate veil, fraudulent transfer
- Singapore Convention enforcement of mediated settlement agreements
FROM NOTICE OF ARBITRATION
TO ENFORCEMENT. ONE TEAM.
Brief WLA on the dispute — the contract, the clause, the parties, and the jurisdictions where enforcement will be required. WLA confirms the right disputes specialist within 48 hours. Emergency proceedings: same-day response.
WLA assembles the full co-practice team — the lead disputes specialist in the arbitral seat, plus enforcement specialists in every jurisdiction where the respondent holds assets. Strategy aligned from day one.
Main proceedings in the seat. Parallel interim measures in enforcement jurisdictions. Asset freezing orders applied for simultaneously. One WLA coordination layer. No gaps between the seat team and the enforcement teams.
Award obtained. Enforcement proceedings commenced simultaneously in all asset jurisdictions. New York Convention recognition obtained in each territory. Recovery of assets — not just a piece of paper.
