Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best U.S. entity structure for a foreign business?

Most foreign businesses entering the U.S. establish a C-Corporation (Delaware is common) or an LLC. The choice depends on your tax treaty situation, investment structure, planned activities, and whether you intend to raise U.S. capital. We analyze your specific home country tax situation and U.S. objectives before recommending a structure.

Do you offer services in Korean?

Yes. Our firm offers legal services in both English and Korean (한국어). We have attorneys and staff who are fluent in Korean and regularly assist Korean corporations, Korean-American business owners, and clients pursuing E-2 or EB-5 investment visa opportunities in the United States.
