01 / OUR EXPERTISE
Your rights.
A practical route forward.
Every enforcement matter starts with two questions: what can be enforced, and where are the assets? We help you address both with a strategy grounded in the realities of China.
WHY ENFORCEMENT ASIA
Experience where enforcement gets difficult.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you
take the next step.
Can every foreign judgment be enforced in China?
No. Recognition and enforcement depend on the applicable treaty or reciprocity framework, the judgment and the statutory review requirements. A case-specific assessment is needed; overseas recognition does not happen automatically.
How long will enforcement take?
There is no reliable universal timeline. Recognition requirements, service, asset availability, objections and the court process can all affect timing. An initial assessment can identify the main variables without promising a completion date.
What should I share in a first enquiry?
Start with the parties’ names, the place and type of decision, and a short description of the matter. Avoid sending confidential evidence or sensitive personal data before conflict checks and an appropriate communication channel are agreed.
Does contacting you create a lawyer-client relationship?
An initial enquiry alone does not establish an engagement. Representation is subject to conflict checks, acceptance of the matter and agreement on the scope and terms of engagement.
LET’S START WITH CLARITY
Your next step
starts here.
Contact our Shanghai office about judgments, arbitral awards, asset leads or an enforcement matter that has stalled. We can discuss the information needed for an initial assessment.
For an initial conversation, a brief overview is enough. We will agree how to share case materials after conflict checks.
