When a dispute crosses borders, the decisive questions are often procedural: where to sue, how to reach assets in another country, and how to turn a judgment in one state into recovery in another. We represent clients in cross-border and international disputes within the EU and beyond — in Greek and English — combining litigation strength with the European and asset-recovery toolkit these cases demand.
Asset tracing & freezing. Mareva (freezing) injunctions, Norwich Pharmacal disclosure and Chabra relief to trace and preserve assets across jurisdictions before they disappear — the orders that often decide a cross-border case.
EU debt-recovery instruments. European Payment Orders for uncontested cross-border claims, and European Account Preservation Orders to freeze a debtor’s bank accounts in another Member State — including its mechanism for tracing accounts where the details are unknown.
Recognition & enforcement in Cyprus. Handling the registration and enforcement process in Cyprus in respect of judgments and other instruments such as payment orders from Greece and other Member States.
Jurisdiction & applicable law. Advice and litigation on jurisdiction, jurisdiction clauses and applicable law, in disputes spanning the EU, the UK, Greece and beyond.
The right order, in the right forum, at the right moment, can be worth more than the judgment itself. To discuss a matter, contact info@topouzislegal.com or +357 22 26 24 54.
