How a US law firm supports Peru-based clients in Germany transactions

When a Peru-based company or individual pursues a business opportunity in Germany, the transaction often touches US law even though neither party is US-based. For example, if the deal involves US-origin goods, technology, or software, the US Export Administration Regulations may require a license or classification. Similarly, if any part of the transaction uses US dollars or passes through a US financial institution, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act can apply to the conduct of the parties. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. provides US-law counsel to Peru clients so they can structure Germany deals in compliance with these overlapping regimes.

The firm’s approach is collaborative. Mr. Sris, admitted in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York, leads the US-law analysis. For any Peru-law questions—such as the enforceability of a Peruvian choice-of-law clause or the tax treatment of a cross-border investment—the firm works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, who is admitted in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar. This division ensures that each jurisdiction’s law is addressed by an attorney licensed there, while the client receives coordinated counsel from a single point of contact. The firm’s Virginia principal location is available by appointment only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Peru client counsel for Germany deals” mean?

It means a Peru-based business or individual hires a US law firm to handle the US-law aspects of a transaction that involves Germany. The client may be selling goods to a German buyer, licensing technology to a German partner, or investing in a German enterprise. The firm provides that review while coordinating with Peru counsel for any local law needs.

Do I need a US lawyer if my deal is between Peru and Germany?

Yes, if the transaction involves US-origin items, US dollars, or US persons, US law may apply even though neither party is American. The Export Administration Regulations control the export of many commercial goods and technologies from the US, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits bribery of foreign officials in connection with US-connected business. A US-admitted attorney can help identify these obligations and structure the deal to avoid violations.

How does the firm handle Peru-law aspects of a Germany deal?

The firm collaborates 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 Peru-law matters such as corporate formation, contract enforceability under Peruvian law, and local regulatory requirements. His work is limited to Peru-law issues and is performed in coordination with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm. The client receives integrated advice without either attorney practicing outside their licensed jurisdiction.

What US export controls apply to Germany-bound transactions?

The primary US export control regime for commercial and dual-use items is the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security. The EAR controls the export of items on the Commerce Control List, which includes many electronics, materials, and software. Even if the item is not physically located in the US, it may be subject to the EAR if it is of US origin or contains more than a de minimis amount of controlled US content. The firm helps Peru clients classify their products and determine whether a license is required for export to Germany.

Does the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act apply to a Peru company doing business in Germany?

Yes, the FCPA can apply if the Peru company is an “issuer” of US securities, a “domestic concern,” or a foreign person that acts in furtherance of a corrupt payment while in US territory. Even if the company does not fall into those categories, the FCPA’s accounting provisions may apply if the company’s securities are traded on a US exchange. The firm advises Peru clients on FCPA risk and helps design compliance measures for Germany-facing transactions.

How does the firm coordinate with German counsel?

The firm works with German counsel selected by the client or recommended through its network, but does not itself practice German law. The US-admitted attorneys handle US-law issues, the Peru Of Counsel handles Peru-law issues, and the client engages separate German counsel for German-law matters.

What is the role of Martín Mayandía in a Germany deal?

Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, provides Peru-law advice and serves as a liaison between the client and the US-admitted attorneys. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar. His work is limited to Peru-law matters and to coordinating with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm. He does not advise on US or German law.

Can the firm help with contract disputes that arise in a Germany deal?

Yes, the firm can represent the client in US-based litigation or arbitration if the dispute falls within the firm’s US jurisdictional reach. If the contract provides for litigation in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, or New York, Mr. Sris and the firm’s US-admitted attorneys can appear. For disputes in Peru or Germany, the firm coordinates with local counsel. The firm does not practice law in Peru or Germany.

How do I get started with the firm for a Germany-focused transaction?
