How an Indian client can obtain legal counsel for a Peru-related matter
When an Indian client faces a legal issue that touches both the United States and Peru, the matter typically requires coordination between attorneys admitted in the relevant jurisdictions. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. provides US-side legal counsel through Mr. Sris and other US-admitted attorneys. For the Peru-law dimension, the firm works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, who is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar. This structure ensures that each aspect of the matter is handled by an attorney licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction, while the firm’s US-admitted attorneys maintain overall coordination of the client’s US-law interests.
Cross-border matters between India, the US, and Peru can arise in several contexts: a US-based business transaction involving Peruvian assets, a family law matter with parties in multiple countries, or an immigration question that requires understanding of both US and Peruvian legal frameworks. The firm’s approach is to identify which legal questions are governed by US law and which are governed by Peru law, then assign each to the appropriately licensed attorney. The client receives integrated guidance without any single attorney practicing law in a jurisdiction where they are not admitted.
