  2. Step 2Have professionals in the receiving country trace the money.
  3. Step 3Seek freezing orders or recovery where possible.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
  • Recognition of judgmentsA party wins abroad but needs lawful local recognition and enforcement
  • Emergency asset preservationA respondent may move assets before final proceedings conclude
  • Ultimate beneficial ownershipLayered ownership complicates identifying the persons behind a counterparty
  • Sanctions conflictsParties are subject to differing sanctions and licensing regimes
