ABOUT EnforceInCanada.com

Enforceincanada.com is an alliance of lawyers whose practices and expertise focus intensely on the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards across Canada. Our lawyers have unparalleled expertise in enforcement issues and are committed to achieving results for our clients and referral sources, including foreign litigants and lawyers.

At enforceincanada.com, we understand that a foreign judgment or arbitral award against Canadian defendants is virtually meaningless unless it is recognized and enforced in Canada. We also realize that, by the time a foreign judgment is obtained, most foreign litigants have spent a great deal of money, time and effort. Our goal is to provide closure by getting foreign litigants paid as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our focus is your advantage!
