Recognition of Foreign Judgments

In cross-border disputes, obtaining a judgment abroad is often only the first step. To recover assets or compel compliance in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada, that judgment must usually be recognized and enforced by local courts.

Our firm represents clients seeking to recognize and enforce foreign judgments before Canadian courts. This process allows a decision rendered by a foreign court to be declared enforceable locally, enabling the successful party to rely on national enforcement mechanisms, including seizure of assets, garnishment, and other judicial remedies.

We assist clients at every stage of the process, including:

  • Assessing the enforceability of foreign judgments in Canada

  • Initiating recognition proceedings before Canadian courts

  • Opposing the recognition of foreign judgments when appropriate

  • Implementing enforcement measures to recover assets
