Enforcement of Foreign Awards & Judgements
A successful arbitral award or judgment can lose its significance if it cannot be enforced. Conversely, victory may lie in effectively resisting the enforcement of an adverse decision.
YılmazÜlker’s dispute resolution team excels in both areas. We have successfully enforced foreign court judgments, including those rendered in Russia, the United Kingdom, India, and France, as well as arbitral awards issued under various institutional rules.
On the other hand, we frequently represent clients in resisting the enforcement of foreign awards or judgments, leveraging our deep understanding of Turkish and international enforcement regimes. Our pragmatic approach, coupled with a strong litigation strategy, ensures that we protect our clients’ interests at every turn.
It is equally critical to secure the future enforcement of an award or judgment by preventing the debtor from dissipating assets. In this regard, obtaining preliminary injunctions and freezing orders becomes almost as significant as the enforcement itself. YılmazÜlker has extensive experience and a strong track record in securing interim measures to aid enforcement proceedings. These measures not only protect clients' interests by preserving the debtor's assets but also allow for a preliminary analysis of the debtor's financial position, ensuring a strategic approach to enforcement.

We also specialize in defending clients against unjust enforcement actions and swiftly lifting debtor objections using the most effective methods.
