Cross-border disputes

We provide legal support for clients who have obtained a judgment in another country and are seeking to enforce the judgment in Poland. We conduct proceedings before Polish courts of all instances, including the Supreme Court, involving:
  • Judgments of foreign state courts — recognition or enforcement of rulings of courts from other countries, including EU member states (under the Brussels I Regulation (44/2001)) as well as countries from outside the EU (on the basis of international agreements)
  • Arbitration awards — recognition or enforcement of arbitration awards under the New York Convention or the Polish Civil Procedure Code
  • Attachment of assets for potential execution — securing the effectiveness of rulings subject to recognition or enforcement in Poland by appropriate proceedings seeking interim relief with respect to assets in Poland
  • Execution — conducting execution proceedings on the basis of foreign judgments or arbitration awards which have been issued an enforcement clause by a Polish court
  • Judicial proceedings — conducting court cases in Poland against foreign entities. Thanks to our contacts with law firms all over the world and through individual cooperation or membership in Lex Mundi and World Services Group, we may secure legal assistance in cases involving recognition and enforcement in other countries of judgments issued by Polish courts.
