INTERNATIONAL ENTREPRENEURS

While ideas and innovations cross borders, it can be much more difficult for the actual innovators to do the same. With no available visa for entrepreneurs, many foreign born entrepreneurs struggle to secure the work authorization needed to start a business in the United States.

As a full service law firm, our attorneys can guide you through incorporation, copyright protection, employment law, as well as general corporate law. In addition, our nationally recognized immigration practice can guide you through innovative immigration solutions to help you secure your future in the U.S.  Below are a few immigration options our team could discuss with you.
