US corporate law services for international clients
US corporate law governs entity formation, governance, mergers and acquisitions, securities compliance, and cross-border transactions. When a business based in Armenia or owned by Armenian nationals seeks to enter the US market, structure a subsidiary, or raise capital from US investors, the applicable legal framework is primarily US federal and state law. Mr. Sris and the firm’s US-admitted attorneys handle the US-side corporate work—drafting operating agreements, reviewing commercial contracts, advising on regulatory requirements, and representing clients in business disputes.
Because every cross-border matter involves at least two legal systems, the firm’s approach is to keep the US-law and foreign-law dimensions separate. The US-licensed attorneys at Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. take responsibility for all US-law aspects, while any necessary foreign-law work is performed by independent Of Counsel who are licensed in the relevant foreign jurisdiction. This structure protects clients from unauthorized-practice-of-law risks and ensures that each component of a transaction receives jurisdiction-specific attention.
Cross-border corporate matters involving Colombia
Many businesses with ties to Armenia also have operations, supply chains, or investment interests in Latin America. When a corporate matter involves Colombian law—for example, a Colombian subsidiary of an Armenian-owned holding company, or a joint venture with a Colombian partner—the firm engages Eric Duport Jaramillo, Of Counsel, who is admitted to practice law in Colombia and is not admitted in any US state bar. Mr. Duport Jaramillo’s practice with the firm is limited to matters of Colombian law and to serving as a liaison for international clients with the firm’s US-licensed attorneys. All US-law aspects remain with Mr. Sris and the firm’s US-admitted lawyers.
The firm’s location in Pereira, Colombia (by appointment only) facilitates coordination on Colombia-law issues, but the substantive legal work is always divided along licensure lines. Whether the matter is a cross-border acquisition, a distribution agreement, or a corporate restructuring, the firm’s US-licensed attorneys handle the US-law side, and Mr. Duport Jaramillo handles the Colombian-law side. This division is disclosed to every client at the outset of the engagement.
