Asset Preservation & Enforcement Assessment

Asset information, urgency and the procedural stage need separate review. Preservation and enforcement after a decision are different tasks, with scope confirmed after document assessment.

01

Identify the procedural stage

Is the matter before proceedings, already underway, or supported by a decision or settlement? Provide complete documents and receipt dates to identify the task.

02

Separate clues from established assets

State the source and date of information about accounts, equipment, receivables or company changes. A business address or registered capital is not proof of recoverable assets.

03

Review requirements, cost and risk

Measures can involve procedural requirements, security, evidence, cost and responsibility for an improper application. Whether, where and how to apply requires a matter-specific assessment.

04

Define the enforcement objective

The effect of the document, compliance, responsible entity and asset location affect the next step. Foreign decisions and awards may raise separate recognition and enforcement issues.

Scope and limitations

No freezing order, successful enforcement or particular timeframe is promised. Confirm the specific application, representation and coordination available.

Start with a short summary

Describe your role, the other party, events, current stage and objective. Add amounts and currency for transactions. A brief summary is enough to start.
