Maria Kostytska, Paris Head of Arbitration, authored the latest guide on sovereign immunity in France for Lexology’s Getting the Deal Through.
This Q&A guide and others in the series showcase Winston’s experience in cross-border litigation involving foreign sovereign and using sovereign assets. This guide delineates the contours of sovereign immunity in France, including the possibility of recognition (exequatur) and enforcement of foreign judgments and international arbitral awards against foreign sovereign and their assets in France, while overcoming sovereign immunity.
Earlier this year, Maria, who is also an English barrister, authored the latest guide on enforcement of foreign judgments in the United Kingdom, including the possibility of enforcement against foreign states, while overcoming state immunity.
