Startups, Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses

Not every visionary fits a corporate structure. We guide entrepreneurs and startup founders through options like:

•E-2 Treaty Investor Visas for those investing in a U.S. business

•L-1A Visas for executives expanding an overseas company into the U.S.

•Parole or startup-related pathways for emerging companies with U.S. investment or innovation potential

•Founder pathways: O-1, E-2, and other options suited to your business plan and traction.

Our goal is to match your business vision with the immigration strategy that keeps it moving forward.

 

 

Growing Beyond Solo:

Most immigrant-owned businesses start as solo ventures. Growth often requires hiring the first team member or partnering with other professionals. The transition brings new legal, compliance, and immigration challenges.  We help you  grow you team while avoiding common legal mistakes and pitfalls that slow or stop growth:

• Hiring the first employees — contractor vs. employee.

•Complying with tax, labor, and immigration requirements.

•Understanding funding and ownership rules.

•Balancing growth with risk management.

 

We offer

•Early-hire solutions: H-1B, L-1, O-1 strategies timed around product releases and funding milestones.

•Formation and founder agreements: operating agreements, bylaws, IP assignments, advisory agreements.

•Commercial and employment contracts: NDAs, MSAs, offer letters, contractor agreements.

•Growth transactions: strategic deals and leases that support scale.
