Service Details

Enforcement Foreign Judgment

This service is available across Lithuania

Who Is This Service For?

  • The enforcement of a foreign court judgment in Lithuania is a complex process designed to aid individuals or entities in implementing legal decisions made outside of Lithuania within its jurisdiction.
  • This service targets individuals or entities with a favourable court judgment from abroad seeking to enforce it within Lithuania. 
  • This group includes international litigants, overseas businesses, or private individuals embroiled in cross-border disputes. 
  • They often encounter obstacles like differences in legal systems, language barriers, and unfamiliarity with local legal protocols. The primary aim is to navigate these complexities to ensure foreign judgments are recognized and enforced in Lithuania, beneficial for commercial disputes, family law issues, or financial claims spanning international boundaries 
Who Is This Service For?

Requirements

  • For a foreign judgment to be enforced in Lithuania, several criteria must be met:
  • The judgment must be final and conclusive from the court of origin.
  • There are no nationality restrictions; both residents and non-residents can seek enforcement.
  • The judgment must not contravene Lithuania's public policy and must be issued by a court with proper jurisdiction​​.
Requirements

Procedure: Our Approach

  1. Filing an application for enforcement with the local Court, including a certified copy of the foreign judgment and a translation into Lithuanian.
  2. The court examines the judgment for compliance with local and international legal standards.
  3. If approved, the court issues an execution order. This might involve hearings, especially in cases with objections or complexities​​.

Why choose Advocate Abroad?

Director
When we set-up Advocate Abroad 14 years ago, getting legal services abroad was something of a lottery.
Clients faced a variety of problems from poor levels of English to questionable moral behaviour by some practitioners.
So we set-up Advocate Abroad to ensure standards by checking lawyers’ background, language levels, and competencies...
...and now, having handled over 40,000 enquiries, via hundreds of partners in 20 countries, we think we must be doing something right!
