We Protect Your Business and Work With Your Immigration Status

We handle business formation issues that are unique to U.S. immigrants. One common situation occurs when a legal permanent resident wants to establish a business. Legal permanent residents are not eligible to establish "S" corporations under most state corporate regulations so we help to identify another corporate designation when a company incorporates. We address any tax and contractual issues that must be considered during this phase of start-up in order to avoid expensive or unwanted consequences.

Employment law for small businesses is also a commonly cited area of difficulty for immigrant run businesses in Pennsylvania and Delaware. We assist our clients with hiring employees, releasing employees, writing employment contacts and handling payroll and unemployment insurance matters.

Often times our clients wish to sell or buy an existing business. This can be a one of the most important decisions for a business owner. We provide complete legal support in the buying and selling process and work hard to ensure our clients get the best deal for themselves and their families that is available.
