First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Which contract, which law and which forum?
  2. 02What is owed or at stake?
  3. 03Where are the other party's assets?
  4. 04Is there an urgent risk of assets moving?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Review the contract and the governing law.
  2. Step 2Send formal demands that carry weight locally.
  3. Step 3Choose negotiation, mediation, arbitration or court.
  4. Step 4Enforce where the assets are.

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
  • Different laws of contractParties sign one commercial agreement but disagree which law governs duties, damages and remedies
  • Foreign ownership of landAn asset buyer needs to verify permitted ownership interests and registrations
