INTERNATIONAL COUNSEL · BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Est. 1997 · Virginia, USA · Serving clients with interests across multiple jurisdictions on six continents
Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. is a US law firm with an international clientele, coordinating cross-border work and retaining jurisdiction-admitted counsel wherever foreign law is at issue. From mining concessions in Peru to Stiftung structures in Liechtenstein, from Caribbean citizenship-by-investment to UAE free-zone formations — one firm holds the file, one attorney signs your engagement letter, and jurisdiction-admitted counsel is retained wherever foreign law is at issue.
We are a firm built around cross-border work, staffed by United States–admitted principals and, where a matter requires it, jurisdiction-admitted Of Counsel. The practice areas below are the firm's center of gravity.
Concessions, royalty and streaming arrangements, joint-venture formation, community-consultation frameworks, and environmental licensing — with experience in Andean copper, Colombian emerald, and African critical-minerals matters.
Cross-border share purchase, auction processes, sovereign and corporate bond work, regulated-industry carve-outs, and the compliance overlay that cross-border deals require.
FCPA program design, UK Bribery Act exposure mapping, OFAC sanctions analysis, Peruvian Ley 30424, and jurisdiction-native AML regimes — including internal investigations.
Citizenship-by-investment across the Caribbean programs, European residency-by-investment pathways, Stiftungen and Anstalten, multi-jurisdictional trust structuring, and family-office architecture.
Economic-substance-compliant entity design, Cayman and BVI fund vehicles, Mauritius Global Business Companies, and UAE free-zone and mainland combinations — with attention to FATCA, CRS and Pillar Two exposure.
International family-law coordination, cross-border criminal-defense interface, apostille and document legalization, and the US-side immigration and estate mechanics beneath a global life.
Coverage is not the same as admission. The working map below reflects jurisdictions in which the firm currently coordinates matters — each backed by a local-facts database of court, regulator, statute and bar-admission data maintained for active matters. Representation under the substantive law of any non-US jurisdiction is handled by counsel admitted by that jurisdiction's bar.

No United States attorney in this firm practices foreign law. When a matter turns on the substantive law of another jurisdiction, it is handled by counsel admitted by the relevant bar. The attorneys below are standing jurisdiction leads engaged as Of Counsel; additional Of Counsel are engaged matter-by-matter and disclosed at the point of retainer.

Additional jurisdiction leads are onboarded on a quarterly cadence; recruitment is active in Mexico, Panama, Chile, the United Arab Emirates, and the Cayman Islands. Where a permanent Of Counsel relationship has not yet been formalized in a jurisdiction, matters are either (a) coordinated from the United States with in-jurisdiction counsel retained on the client's engagement letter, or (b) declined.
Mr. Sris founded the firm in 1997 and remains its sole owner. His United States practice spans five jurisdictions — Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey and New York. He is a former prosecutor.
The international practice is his response to a specific pattern: United States clients with foreign exposure who need one relationship to hold the entire matter, and foreign clients whose work touches the United States and who should not be handed off at the water's edge. International engagements are coordinated by the firm's principal, with jurisdiction-admitted Of Counsel retained where foreign law is at issue.
The engagement classes below reflect the kinds of matters the firm is routinely asked to handle. They are categorical by design — they describe types of work, not specific clients or outcomes. Specific names, values and results are disclosed only under engagement letter. Results vary by matter; prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

A matter that crosses borders should not cross hands. One firm holds the file, one attorney signs your engagement letter, and local-law representation is named, admitted and disclosed — before the first invoice, not after the first problem.
Initial consultations are by appointment only and begin with a conflicts check. Our intake line receives calls 24/7/365; acknowledgement within one business day. Consultations with an attorney are by appointment only and begin with a conflicts check. If the matter is time-sensitive — a border crossing, a sanctions deadline, a closing window — say so in the first sentence and we will route accordingly.
Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential information until a conflicts check and engagement letter have been completed.
