How a US law firm supports Peru investors in Australia transactions
When a Peru investor structures an investment in Australia, the transaction may touch US law in several ways. The investment vehicle could be a US corporation, limited liability company, or partnership. The investor may need to comply with US securities laws if the offering involves US investors or US markets. US tax treaties and reporting obligations can also apply, particularly if the investor or the investment entity has US-source income or US beneficial owners. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. provides US legal counsel on these issues. The firm’s US-admitted attorneys analyze the US-law implications, draft and review US-governed agreements, and advise on US regulatory compliance. Because the firm does not practice Australian law, the client would engage separate Australian counsel for Australian-law matters; the firm can coordinate with that counsel as needed.
On the Peru-law side, 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 handles Peru-law matters—such as Peru corporate, tax, and foreign-investment regulations—in coordination with the firm’s US attorneys. This structure keeps each jurisdiction’s legal work with a lawyer licensed there, while the client benefits from a coordinated cross-border approach. The firm’s US principal location is in Virginia; consultations are by appointment.
