Pacific Northwest counsel for foreign families and businesses entering the United States: EB-5, L-1, E-2, FIRPTA, Form 5472, CFIUS, and cross-border transactions.
For families and family offices from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan investing in the Pacific Northwest, the firm has provided U.S. counsel for more than four decades. The practice covers the full arc: investor visas, real estate acquisition, business formation, the federal reporting regimes that accompany foreign ownership, and the eventual succession or exit.
We sit on the same side of the table as the family. Engagements typically begin before the first U.S. asset is acquired and continue through the generational transition. The work spans EB-5 and other investor visas, FIRPTA-compliant closings, Form 5472 and FATCA reporting calendars, ITIN preparation as a Certified Acceptance Agent, and CFIUS review where the deal calls for it.
Before the first wire is sent. Engaging counsel after the property is acquired or the LLC is formed is workable but expensive. The clean version of this work runs in parallel with diligence, not after it.
A 30-minute call is often the fastest way to know if we’re the right fit.
