The final reconciliation of international arbitral awards and foreign money judgments, for or against States, poses practical and policy problems. These cross-border problems involve enforcing judgments and awards, convening and completing serious negotiations, and, increasingly, asset seizures, evidence discovery, and mutual legal assistance conducive to these ends. The process can be difficult and protracted.

Often, the methods used are ineffective. When successful, the experience is fragmented, disorderly, and inefficient.

Monarc Group believes there is a better way to the quick and orderly extinguishment of finally adjudicated claims in the sovereign context.

To be powerful and effective requires a deep understanding of the legal and policy processes involved, as well as having actionable intelligence on target assets and the ways in which they may be structured and dissimulated. It requires sensitivity to economic and political conditions. It requires experience with sovereigns, officials, and bureaucratic processes. It requires the joining up of asset tracing, legal procedures, market and financial analysis, and government negotiations.

We have these capabilities and are built for not isolating the feature sets.

We use proprietary large-scale data mining and actionable intelligence discovery methodologies to harvest open and closed factual and legal sources on a global scale. We have studied the market and the law systematically to understand what works and what doesn’t. We have gained unique visibility into sovereign assets as an investment class. We have mapped the treaties, laws and procedural rules on sovereign immunity, evidence discovery, legal assistance, and asset attachment. We have built pipelines into country-based information about sovereign assets, related judicial procedures, and case law. We have identified the entities constituting the state, sovereign asset classes not immune from attachment, and the types of sovereign legal relationships sufficient for enforcement.

The data we own and acquire is dynamic, because what we track changes; it is unique, as it gives us and only us new insights; and it is special, for we’ve curated and enriched it shrewdly.

We would be pleased to work with you.
