Legal Sandbox Georgia provides a critical legal service designed to protect a client's interests from the very outset of a dispute: Securing a Claim. This powerful procedural tool, meticulously regulated by the Civil Procedure Code of Georgia, is essential for ensuring that a future favorable court judgment is not rendered meaningless. We understand that a defendant may attempt to dissipate assets or take irreversible actions during litigation. Our lawyers act with the speed and precision required to obtain interim court measures, thereby preserving the status quo and guaranteeing the enforceability of a future victory.
The legal basis for securing a claim is the prevention of irreparable harm or the mitigation of risk that a future judgment's enforcement will become difficult or impossible. Our process involves filing a substantiated motion with the court, which can be done at any stage of the proceedings, even before the main lawsuit is formally filed. In this motion, we must compellingly demonstrate the existence of a credible claim and the clear and present danger that without the court's immediate intervention, the opposing party will conceal, sell, or otherwise dispose of assets. The court is mandated to review such motions expeditiously, often within one day, to provide immediate protection.
Our services encompass the full range of interim measures available under Georgian law. We specialize in filing motions for asset freezing, which legally translates to the seizure of the opposing party's bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, and other valuable property. This action effectively prevents the defendant from transferring or liquidating these assets while the dispute is ongoing. Additionally, we obtain prohibitory injunctions, which are court orders forbidding the opposing party from taking specific, harmful actions, such as selling a disputed property, transferring ownership of company shares, or continuing infringing activities until a final judgment is rendered.
Navigating the procedural requirements for securing a claim demands absolute legal precision. The court may require the applicant to provide counter-security to cover potential damages to the defendant if the primary lawsuit is ultimately unsuccessful. Our lawyers provide strategic counsel on this aspect and ensure that all legal formalities are flawlessly executed. We manage the entire process, from drafting the initial motion to overseeing the immediate execution of the court's ruling by the National Bureau of Enforcement. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we use this vital legal instrument to provide our clients with the security and peace of mind needed to pursue their case to a successful conclusion.
