The enforcement stage is where preparation meets results. Our execution practice covers:

Execution Initiation

  • Filing the execution application (执行申请书) with the enforcement division
  • Presenting the court’s recognition order as the executable instrument
  • Requesting activation of the court’s inquiry powers over banking, real estate, and corporate records

Enforcement Measures

  • Bank account levies — freezing and transferring funds from debtor accounts identified through the central banking inquiry system
  • Real property seizure — attachment, auction, and forced sale of real estate
  • Equity interest enforcement — attachment and compulsory transfer of company shares
  • Receivables collection — directing third-party debtors to pay the enforcement creditor directly
  • Movable property — seizure and auction of vehicles, equipment, and inventory

Personal Enforcement Measures

  • Exit restriction orders (限制出境) prohibiting debtor representatives from leaving China
  • Defaulting debtor list (失信被执行人名单) — credit blacklisting with broad consequences
  • Consumption restrictions and other compliance pressure

Enforcement Against Corporate Debtors

  • Piercing the corporate veil where appropriate
  • Adding shareholders, affiliates, and de facto controllers as enforcement targets
  • Corporate restructuring and insolvency-triggered enforcement strategies
