Introduction

We are pleased to present the second edition of Lexology Getting the Deal Through – Sovereign Immunity. This is the first volume in the series to attempt to critically and comparatively assess the state of play of the law of sovereign immunity across key jurisdictions. This volume constitutes a systematic and user-friendly collection of the information that investors, awards- and judgment creditors should consider when contemplating litigation against sovereigns, state entities and inter­national organisations, and assessing the enforceability and recoverability of any resulting award or judgment against sovereign states or state entities, including state-owned enterprises.
