Guide to the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in the CIS Countries (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) and Georgia

Recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards is one of the key tools for achieving actual debt recovery in cross-border disputes. In practice, it is often this stage that proves decisive: whether an arbitral award results in effective enforcement depends on the proper preparation of documents and a clear understanding of national procedures.

Experts from REVERA law group across four jurisdictions have prepared a cross-country practical guide dedicated to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in the CIS — Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan — as well as Georgia. The guide brings together, in a single resource, a structured overview of the legal framework, procedural requirements and practical nuances in each of these jurisdictions.

The guide is intended for lawyers, top managers and business owners who deal with international disputes and are interested not only in obtaining an arbitral award, but also in its effective enforcement. The material helps to develop an action plan, assess timeframes and costs, determine the required set of documents, and anticipate in advance the grounds on which a court may refuse recognition and enforcement of an award.

This guide is a closed analytical resource intended for professional use. Access to the file is available via the link.
