Strategies for Successful Recovery and Asset Preservation Across Jurisdictions
A successful judgment or arbitral award is often only the first step in obtaining recovery for your clients. The unsuccessful party frequently hides assets or refuses to pay, requiring extensive enforcement efforts. This panel of experienced lawyers will discuss how to lay the groundwork for successful recovery, options for preserving assets to prevent dissipation, and tools available across jurisdictions to facilitate prompt payments by unwilling debtors. The strategies discussed will include those that help Canadian clients enforce judgments abroad, as well as foreign clients who look to recover proceeds in Canada.

Toronto Lawyers Association
For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community. To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.
