Entering and expanding into the U.S. market
The clients who come to the firm for U.S. work are usually trying to do one of a few things: enter the market with a new venture, move an existing business across the border, transfer the people who run it, buy an established American company, or invest in one. Each of those has an immigration dimension and a transactional dimension, and the two rarely stay in separate lanes.
Around that sit the ordinary commercial questions of an American operation: customers and vendors, suppliers and distributors, affiliates and joint ventures, employment terms for the people who will be hired here.
What the firm does and does not do nationally
Federal immigration representation is national and international in reach. State-law business representation is not: the firm does not hold itself out as advising on the corporate, real estate or family law of every state. Where a matter turns on the law of another state, the firm says so and works with counsel admitted there.
Families as well as companies
Not every U.S. matter is commercial. Marriage-based and family petitions, consular processing, adjustment of status, removal of conditions and naturalization are steady parts of the practice, and they often run in parallel with a client's business plans rather than after them.
