Expertise
Work that begins where the standard engagement usually ends.
We are retained for the difficult matters—when an award or judgment is not honored, or where prior efforts have been unsuccessful.
A judgment is a piece of paper until someone collects it. We run post-judgment discovery and enforcement strategically, and aggressively when appropriate — third-party subpoenas to banks, payment processors, depositions of officers and affiliates, restraining notices, turnover and contempt proceedings — and we litigate the motions to quash that follow. We also act on the other side of that process for third parties wrongly caught in an execution.
Post-judgment discovery, turnover proceedings, restraining notices, contempt.
Judgment Enforcement
When a dispute is overseas but the evidence is in the United States, 28 U.S.C. § 1782 can be the fastest way to get it. We prepare and litigate § 1782 applications to obtain documents and testimony from U.S. banks, companies, and individuals for use in foreign courts. Our work often supports fraud investigations, judgment enforcement, and asset tracing.
§ 1782 applications, cross-border discovery, fraud investigations, asset tracing.
Section 1782 Discovery Applications
We reconstruct where money went: layered transfers, nominee entities, related-party loans, real property, and offshore accounts. Tracing is paired immediately with remedies so that findings convert into attachments rather than reports.
Forensic tracing, attachment, receiverships, cross-border discovery.
