Plan enforcement before arbitration starts
It is useful to know where assets are located, which national rules may matter and what international instruments may govern recognition.
Recognition is not a complete rehearing of the commercial dispute
Recognition and enforcement generally focus on the conditions relevant to that procedure rather than deciding the entire underlying dispute again.
The arbitration agreement remains important
Its validity, scope and the process leading to the award may matter when recognition is later sought.
Cross-border enforcement requires coordination
Where assets, parties and procedures span several countries, Lithuanian and foreign counsel may need to work under one enforcement strategy.
