€000M Recovered in the Catania case
When the domestic route runs out, Strasbourg remains.
We act for European companies and creditors whose final court rulings against public bodies have gone unenforced.
We take the claim to the European Court of Human Rights — where a State can be held to account for not honouring its own courts.
150+ Rulings secured before the ECHR
Coverage across Council of Europe states
The problem
Winning a judgment isn't the same as getting paid.
Across Europe, companies and individuals hold final rulings against public bodies that are simply never enforced. The debt is recognised by a court. The money never arrives. It stops being an administrative delay and becomes a breached right — and breached rights have a court.
What we do
Debt claims, escalated to Strasbourg.
We act for creditors of public bodies when domestic enforcement has failed, taking the claim to the European Court of Human Rights.
Eligibility assessment
We review whether you hold a final, unenforced ruling against a public body and assess the case's admissibility before the ECHR.
Claim and representation
We prepare and file the claim before the European Court of Human Rights and represent the case through to a decision, on the grounds of the right to property and the right to a fair trial.
Enforcement of awards
Where the Court rules in our client's favour, we pursue execution of the judgment until the awarded sum reaches the creditor.
End-to-end management
From the initial review to the documentation and the procedure itself, we handle the case so you don't have to navigate an international court alone.
