Cross-border judgments, service of process and enforcement turn an apparently won case into a practical question of whether a foreign judgment can actually be served, recognised and satisfied where the defendant or its assets sit. For executives the risk is securing a domestic victory that proves unenforceable abroad, or being caught out by improper service that voids proceedings. This report explains how international service, recognition and enforcement operate in your chosen jurisdiction and industry, the treaties and reciprocity regimes involved, the contrast between court judgments and arbitral awards, realistic ranges for cost and delay, and the warning indicators of enforcement difficulty, with guidance on when to engage cross-border litigation counsel and local enforcement specialists.
