What This Cross-Border Practice Area Covers
Cross-border inbound practice for Peru-related matters encompasses US legal services for clients whose affairs span both the United States and Peru. The firm’s US-admitted attorneys handle a range of US-law matters, including family-based and employment-based immigration petitions, nonimmigrant visa applications, US business entity formation and governance, contract review, and cross-border family law issues such as divorce, child custody, and property division where one party or asset has a US nexus. The firm also advises on US regulatory compliance for Peruvian companies entering the US market.
For any matter that requires analysis or application of Peruvian law—such as Peruvian corporate formalities, Peruvian family law, or Peruvian immigration procedures—the firm works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar. His role is limited to Peru-law matters in collaboration with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm. This division ensures that each jurisdiction’s law is handled by an attorney licensed there, consistent with unauthorized-practice-of-law rules. The firm does not maintain a location in Peru; all US-law work is performed from the firm’s principal location in Virginia, by appointment only.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Network Handle These Matters
When a client presents a cross-border matter involving Peru, the firm first assesses the US-law dimensions. Mr. Sris or another US-admitted attorney reviews the client’s objectives, identifies the applicable US statutes and regulations, and develops a strategy for the US side. If the matter also requires Peru-law work—for example, authenticating a Peruvian marriage certificate for a US divorce proceeding, or advising on Peruvian corporate law for a joint venture—the firm engages Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar. Mr. Mayandía provides Peru-law analysis and handles any necessary filings or proceedings in Peru, while the US-admitted attorneys remain responsible for all US-law aspects.
The two sides collaborate as needed but maintain strict jurisdictional separation. The client receives coordinated counsel without any attorney practicing law in a jurisdiction where they are not admitted. This structure allows the firm to serve clients with Peru connections while respecting the professional responsibility rules of both the United States and Peru. All consultations are by appointment, and the firm’s US-admitted attorneys are available to discuss the US-law components of a matter at the outset.
