How a US Law Firm Handles Tax Matters with a Peru Connection
US tax law imposes significant obligations on US citizens and residents with foreign ties, including those living in Barranco or elsewhere in Peru. The firm assists with IRS compliance, foreign account reporting, and the application of US tax rules to cross-border income. Mr. Sris, admitted in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York, leads the US-side work. The firm does not maintain a physical location in Peru, but its Of Counsel arrangement with Martín Mayandía—admitted to practice law in Peru and not admitted in the United States—allows it to coordinate Peruvian tax advice when needed. Mr. Mayandía’s role is limited to Peru-law matters in collaboration with the firm’s US-admitted attorneys.
For clients facing both US and Peruvian tax issues, the firm structures the engagement so that each jurisdiction’s law is handled by an attorney licensed there. The US attorneys prepare US filings and advise on US reporting requirements; Mr. Mayandía addresses Peruvian tax obligations under Peruvian law. This division preserves the ethical boundaries required by bar rules in both countries and ensures that no attorney practices outside their licensure. Consultations are available by phone or video, and the firm’s staff includes Spanish-speaking professionals to facilitate communication.
