How US legal counsel supports investors in San Isidro
When an investor in San Isidro seeks to enter the US market—whether by forming a US entity, acquiring US assets, or raising capital from US sources—the transaction is governed by US federal and state law. The firm advises on entity selection (such as a Delaware corporation or LLC), drafts operating agreements and shareholder documents, and helps navigate the registration and reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For investors who are US persons, the firm also addresses compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On the Peru side, the firm does not provide Peru-law advice. Instead, it works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar, who handles Peru-law aspects such as local corporate formalities, tax registration, and regulatory approvals. The US-admitted attorneys at the firm remain responsible for all US-law work, and the two sides coordinate as needed while maintaining strict jurisdictional separation.
Frequently asked questions
What US legal services do investors in San Isidro typically need?
Investors in San Isidro often need US legal assistance with entity formation, securities compliance, cross-border contracts, and immigration matters. The firm helps clients establish US corporations or limited liability companies, prepare private placement memoranda, and comply with SEC filing obligations. It also advises on the US tax implications of cross-border structures and can assist with visa categories such as the E-2 treaty investor visa for qualifying nationals. Each engagement is tailored to the investor’s specific business goals and the applicable US regulatory framework.
Can a US law firm help with an investment that is based entirely in Peru?
A US law firm cannot provide Peru-law advice, but it can assist with US-law aspects of a Peru-based investment that touches the United States. For example, if a Peru-based fund accepts US investors, US securities laws may apply. The firm advises on those US-law requirements. For the Peru-law side, the firm collaborates with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar, who handles the local legal work. This division ensures that each jurisdiction’s laws are addressed by a qualified attorney.
Do I need a Peru-licensed attorney for my investment?
If your investment involves Peru-law matters—such as forming a Peruvian entity, obtaining local permits, or complying with Peruvian tax law—you will need a Peru-licensed attorney. The firm does not practice Peru law, but it works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar, for those needs. The US-admitted attorneys at the firm handle all US-law aspects, and the two sides coordinate to provide a seamless cross-border service.
How does the firm handle the division between US and Peru law?
The firm maintains a strict jurisdictional separation: US-admitted attorneys handle US law, and the Peru Of Counsel handles Peru law. When a matter involves both legal systems, the firm’s US attorneys draft the US-law documents and advise on US regulatory compliance, while Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar, addresses the Peru-law components. The two sides communicate as needed, but each attorney works within the scope of their own licensure. This approach protects the client and complies with the unauthorized-practice-of-law rules in both countries.
What is the role of Martín Mayandía?
Martín Mayandía is the firm’s Of Counsel for Peru matters, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar. His role is limited to Peru-law matters in collaboration with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm. He advises on Peruvian corporate, regulatory, and tax issues that arise in cross-border investments. He does not provide US legal advice or represent clients before US courts or agencies. All US-law aspects are handled by Mr. Sris and the US-admitted attorneys of the firm.
Is the firm located in Peru?

This arrangement allows the firm to offer coordinated cross-border counsel without maintaining a physical presence in Peru.
What are the benefits of working with a US law firm for cross-border investments?
Working with a US law firm gives investors direct access to attorneys who are licensed in the United States and familiar with US securities, corporate, and immigration law. The firm can structure transactions to comply with US regulations, prepare offering documents that meet SEC standards, and advise on the US tax consequences of cross-border structures. For the Peru-law side, the firm’s collaboration with a Peru-licensed Of Counsel ensures that local requirements are also addressed. This dual-capability model helps investors avoid the pitfalls of navigating two legal systems alone.
