Case Introduction

User pain points:
A US technology company had a contract dispute with a Chinese distributor. Although obtaining a favorable judgment, they found the debtor had transferred assets to affiliated companies, making traditional enforcement procedures ineffective.

Solutions:
We adopted a multi-pronged strategy: first, locating hidden assets through asset tracing; second, successfully applying the “piercing the corporate veil” legal doctrine to include affiliated companies as joint enforcement targets; finally, coordinating with courts to implement combined enforcement measures.

Results:
Successfully enforced the full amount within 6 months, including principal, interest, and enforcement costs, totaling approximately $8.5 million.
