Global Legal Services (GLS) – Was conceived of as a Global Law Firm that brings best-of-breed US legal services, advice and representation, risk mitigation and compliance services to Americans abroad. GLS is comprised of skilled attorneys with the experience, resources and talent to meet your legal needs wherever you are in the world. Our team of lawyers and experts in international affairs are locally present, regionally aware and globally connected.
American’s abroad are often left to manage legal matters with questionable local counsel or through US firms which are not fully aware of the challenging and dynamic environments outside of the US. Our team of legal advisors and consultants comprehensively address US and multi-jurisdictional legal matters and compliance requirements across the globe.
Through our team of lawyers and risk prevention consultants, GLS is able to assist in virtually any area of legal specialization. Our practice focuses on the most common areas of need: taxation, estate planning, business structuring and operations, immigration, sanctions compliance, OFAC and other de-listings. We also advise on legal and political risk prevention and mitigation and in all cases, clients deal directly with a senior lawyer who will oversee your case from beginning to end.
We assist our clients with US visas for family members and colleagues as well as provide estate planning that meets client objectives and mitigates US and multi-jurisdictional tax liability.
Our team works closely with corporate clients and family businesses to plan for, and enable business succession, protect intellectual property in the US and multi-jurisdictionally and meet client business and/or personal requirements across virtually any area of law and legal specialization, from taxation to sanctions compliance, with a focus on lawfully minimizing US tax liability.
Our mission is to prevent and mitigate US and multi-jurisdictional legal risk as well as facilitate US legal compliance across a broad spectrum of growing requirements.
Top areas of focus are the energy, banking, finance and aviation sectors, providing guidance and representation on mergers and acquisition, civil litigation and white-collar criminal defense.
With a deep background in Corporate Law, International Law and US Government Relations our team can establish a business license in virtually any county.
