Third-party ownership claims
Defence of third-party interests in enforcement proceedings and attachments on assets unrelated to the debt. Analysis of the actual ownership of affected assets and exercise of the necessary actions to exclude them from enforcement and protect the legitimate owner.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Identification of the attached asset
We analyse the attachment and the actual ownership of the affected asset to determine whether the third party has sufficient standing to seek exclusion from the enforcement proceedings.
Gathering ownership evidence
We gather and organise all documentary evidence of the third party's ownership of the attached asset — deeds, registrations, invoices, contracts — to build a robust evidentiary basis.
Filing the third-party claim
We file the third-party ownership claim before the court handling the enforcement, requesting suspension of the attachment over the asset and its exclusion from the enforcement process.
Trial defence and lifting of the attachment
We defend the third party's position at the hearing, establish ownership of the asset and obtain the lifting of the attachment to return the asset to its legitimate owner.
Who this is for
Owners of assets wrongly attached in enforcement proceedings directed against a third party. Also companies that discover their assets have been caught up in enforcement against debtors with whom they have or have had financial ties.
