Individuals and small companies have opportunities once available only to the wealthy to transact business, invest money, and bank beyond U.S. borders. However, the lack of personal relationships, unfamiliar laws and business regulations, and general inexperience makes international business and investing as potentially risky as it is rewarding. Weitz Morgan has experience representing clients in a variety of transnational settings. With contacts in the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia, we have the ability to help the individual and small business avoid the pitfalls inherent in global venturing.
For some people anonymity, flexibility, and potential profit provide a real incentive for doing business beyond U.S. borders. However, international business and banking requires not only experience in such transactions, but a network of personal and banking relationships that makes doing business off-shore possible. Approximately sixty percent of money invested in the United States comes from off-shore, a portion of which originates from U.S. citizens who enjoy the benefits of having the government treat them as a foreign investor or business. For those looking for more than passive investment opportunities, international markets offer U.S. companies and individuals the opportunity to expand their consumer base through direct investments, distributorships, joint ventures, or cross-border sales transactions. Whatever global direction you or your business is interested in going, Weitz Morgan has the experience, expertise, and relationships to assist you.
Weitz Morgan provides a full compliment of legal services to clients that wish to enter the global marketplace. We advise on the various risks and rewards of doing business off-shore and assist clients with matters like formation of foreign corporations, sale of goods transactions, and international investments to name few. In addition to the basics of forming off-shore entities, Weitz Morgan helps clients secure banking, management, and investment vehicles in the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia. For those looking to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to small, closely held captive insurance companies Weitz Morgan also provides legal assistance in setting up, funding, and managing off-shore insurance entities.
Whether you seek to form foreign companies, invest in financial markets and vehicles not typically available in the U.S., engage in multi-country sales of goods, or seek to self-insure some or part of your business through a captive insurance company, Weitz Morgan is available to help you.
