June 2018 – Chaffetz Lindsey lawyers Andreas Frischknecht, Yasmine Lahlou, Gretta Walters, and Andrew Poplinger are delighted to announce that Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards and Judgments in New York has been published by Wolters Kluwer and is now available for purchase.
More thoroughly than any other source, this book shows practitioners how to navigate the enforcement landscape in New York. A favorable arbitral award or judgment at the end of a dispute holds little value unless the prevailing party is able to enforce it, and this book provides an in-depth analysis of all aspects of enforcement and execution, covering U.S. civil procedure, statutes, and case law on enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and judgments, the nuances of the New York courts’ interpretations of the New York and Panama Conventions on arbitral award enforcement, and the practicalities of ultimately obtaining payment on a foreign award or judgment. New York is a leading global financial center known for its pro-enforcement policies and the powerful discovery tools it makes available to creditors. No other resource explores the current state of the law in New York as comprehensively as this book.
In fact, David Spector (Partner at Schiff Hardin) says of the book, “It fills a deep need, both for the legal profession generally and for my practice in particular. It is a very impressive job.”
