US Foreign Investment Legal Services for San Isidro Investors
Foreign investment into the United States is governed by a complex set of federal statutes and regulations. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), authorized by 50 U.S.C. § 4565, reviews certain transactions that could result in control of a US business by a foreign person, to assess national security implications. Our firm advises Peruvian investors on CFIUS filing requirements, mitigation agreements, and the broader regulatory landscape, including sector-specific restrictions under the Defense Production Act and other authorities.
In addition to CFIUS, US foreign investment may trigger reporting obligations under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act, administered by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. We assist clients in understanding these requirements and in structuring transactions to comply with US law while achieving their business objectives. For matters that involve Peruvian corporate, tax, or regulatory law, we work with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, who is admitted in Peru and not in any US state bar, to ensure that the Peru-law side is handled by a qualified Peru-licensed attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a foreign investment lawyer do for a San Isidro investor?
A foreign investment lawyer advises on US legal requirements for cross-border investments, including CFIUS review, securities laws, and entity formation. For a San Isidro-based investor, the lawyer helps structure the transaction to comply with US federal and state regulations, prepares necessary filings, and coordinates with Peru-licensed counsel for Peru-law aspects. The goal is to facilitate a legally sound investment while managing regulatory risk.
Do I need a US lawyer if I am investing from Peru into the United States?
Yes, a US-licensed attorney is essential for any investment that involves US law, such as acquiring a US business, purchasing US real estate, or issuing securities in the US. US federal and state laws impose specific requirements on foreign investors, and non-compliance can lead to penalties or blocked transactions. A US lawyer ensures that the investment is structured properly and that all necessary government filings are made.
What is CFIUS and when does it apply to a Peruvian investor?
CFIUS is a US government committee that reviews foreign investments for national security risks. Under 50 U.S.C. § 4565, CFIUS can review any transaction that could result in foreign control of a US business. Certain transactions involving critical technology, critical infrastructure, or sensitive personal data may be subject to mandatory filing. Our firm helps Peruvian investors determine whether a CFIUS filing is required and, if so, prepares the submission.
