Institute Of Private Enforcement Agents

The adoption on 14 July 2025, of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan No. 248‑VIIQ, On Private Enforcement Officers, marked an important stage in the reform of enforcement proceedings. The Law enters into force on 1 January 2026 and introduces a new institution into the national system. This institution is built on a mixed model: alongside state enforcement officers (agents), independent specialists will also be able to carry out the enforcement of court decisions.

The key purpose of the new Law is to eliminate systemic problems in enforcement proceedings: the excessive workload of the state enforcement service, procedural delays, and the growing number of unenforced court decisions. The reform aims not only to accelerate proceedings but also to create a competitive environment and establish a new professional institution based on the principles of independence and responsibility.
