How Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. Supports Peru Clients in Australia Deals
When a Peru-based business or individual pursues a commercial opportunity in Australia, the transaction often touches three legal systems: Peruvian law, Australian law, and—because of the international nature of the deal—US law. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. serves as the US-law anchor for these cross-border matters. The firm’s US-admitted attorneys, led by Mr. Sris (admitted in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York), advise on US contract law, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in relevant states, federal securities regulations, and other US legal frameworks that may apply to the transaction. For example, if the deal involves US-dollar-denominated financing, US-based investors, or a US subsidiary, US law often governs key aspects of the agreement.
On the Peru-law side, 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. Mr. Mayandía advises on Peruvian corporate, tax, and regulatory requirements that affect the client’s ability to structure and execute the deal. His role is strictly limited to Peru-law matters and to serving as a liaison between the client and the firm’s US-admitted attorneys. For Australian-law issues—such as compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Australian taxation, or local regulatory approvals—the firm coordinates with Australian-licensed solicitors. This three-jurisdiction model ensures that each legal system is addressed by a qualified professional, while the firm’s US attorneys maintain overall coordination of the cross-border engagement. The firm does not maintain a physical location in Peru or Australia; all work is conducted from the firm’s US locations, by appointment only, with remote collaboration as needed.
