Overview
Gunster handles complex cross-border business arrangements and transactions. Our attorneys have assisted clients with complex and diverse business dealings around the world.
In addition to assisting our U.S.-based clients in transactions and joint ventures in foreign countries, setting up foreign subsidiary operations and structuring international distribution channels, our attorneys also represent international clients in the acquisition of U.S. business interests, establishing business operations in the U.S., engaging in joint ventures with U.S. partners, and in negotiating, licensing, franchising, sales and marketing representative and distributorship arrangements with U.S. parties. Whether a transaction involves an acquisition, disposition or equity investment, we are committed to providing legal solutions that take into account the economics of every deal, including the financial and tax implications.
Gunster has created integrated immigration, residency and tax solutions for non-U.S. clients and/or their employees who seek to temporarily work in the U.S. or want to plan for permanent residency. The firm assists non-U.S. corporate and individual clients with the structuring, planning, maintenance and reorganization of their U.S. investments and business activities. Our attorneys have planned and formed numerous tax-favored holding structures for foreign clients to own and manage their U.S. investments, including real property ownership.
