Award Enforcement
Turning Arbitration Awards into Enforceable Outcomes
Winning an arbitration is only half the battle—the real challenge often lies in enforcing the award. Whether across borders, against reluctant counterparties, or under difficult legal regimes, award enforcement requires sharp legal insight and strategic execution. Mian Sheraz Javaid (MSJ) offers targeted counsel and representation in enforcing arbitral awards globally, with a particular focus on jurisdictions across Asia, the Middle East, and common law systems.
Why Award Enforcement Matters
An award that cannot be enforced is a paper victory. Successful enforcement ensures that the time, cost, and effort invested in arbitration lead to a tangible result. From asset tracing to resisting enforcement challenges, MSJ provides clients with the tools and legal strategy to move from judgment to recovery.
