Christiane Deniger, Director at Burford Capital will speak on the panel, “From award to recovery: catch me if you can – yes, we can," at London International Disputes Week 2026. The session will take place on June 5 at 9:00am BST.

The event will focus on recent high-stakes proceedings for recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards and judgments and will explore sovereign immunity considerations, sanctions constraints, challenges in valuation and asset tracing, competition among creditors for the same assets and political sensitivities. Bringing together in-house counsel, practitioners, experts, and state representatives, the panel will provide an overview of the enforcement battlefield shaped by the geopolitical developments and pave the way to recovery.

Key discussion topics:

From award to recovery: why enforcement is now the most complex stage of international disputes
Asset tracing in practice: investigative tools, data sources and cross-border coordination
Valuation challenges: how experts assess complex assets, corporate structures and indirect holdings; what makes a compelling valuation of damages report in enforcement proceedings
Ukraine as a case study: enforcement strategies in disputes involving state-linked assets and wartime losses
Sanctions and sovereign immunity: obstacles and strategic considerations for claimants and enforcement counsel
Competing creditors: what happens when multiple claimants pursue the same asset pool
Litigation finance and innovative recovery tools: the role of third-party funding in asset recovery cases, new structures for risk-sharing, and how funders assess Ukraine-related opportunities
Future trends: how geopolitical fragmentation is transforming asset recovery and enforcement worldwide

Ms. Deniger will be joined by Maria Kostytska (K&L Gates), Anastasia Davis-Bondarenko (Davis Dispute Advisory) and Dmytro Kostiukov (TraceLex Consulting GmhB).
