How a US law firm can assist a Peru investor with a UK transaction
A Peru investor pursuing a UK venture may not immediately think of US legal counsel, but many international deals intersect with US law. For example, if the investment vehicle is a US limited liability company or a Delaware corporation, US securities laws and tax regulations apply. If the UK target has US shareholders or does business in the United States, US regulatory requirements may be triggered. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. provides US legal services to international clients, helping them navigate these US-law dimensions while respecting the boundaries of UK and Peru law.
The firm’s approach is collaborative. Mr. Sris, the firm’s owner and founder, is admitted to practice in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York. He and the firm’s US-admitted Of Counsel handle the US-law side of a cross-border matter. For Peru-law issues—such as the enforceability of a Peruvian investment agreement or the tax treatment of a Peru investor’s foreign income—the firm engages Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, who is admitted in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar. Mr. Mayandía’s role is limited to Peru-law matters and to serving as a liaison between the investor and the firm. The firm does not provide UK legal advice, but it can work with UK solicitors to ensure that the US, UK, and Peru legal aspects are coordinated.
