Real Estate

Our real estate practice focuses on transactional real estate matters, including drafting, review and negotiation of residential and apartment leasing, office leases and sub-leasing contracts, ground leases and land contracts, real estate due diligence and sales. In conjunction with our business, estate planning and immigration practices, we also focus on creating appropriate risk-mitigation strategies for protection of your personal wealth from any real estate business risks through diverse legal and non-legal strategies, including formation of LLCs and series LLCs for rental business, adoption of strong real estate contracts, purchase of appropriate insurance policies and other permits, and real estate advisory work. We also assist clients with sourcing real estate projects and investments, including creating pooling arrangements with 'friends and family' for purposes of joint investments in real estate projects.

Immigration

As a law firm with international clientele, we are often engaged to handle and support our clients' business and personal immigration needs, including processing of H-1B, H-4 EAD and L-1 visas. We also provide strategic counseling related to immigration planning, I-9 compliance and contingent labor workforce migration. We routinely assist clients in obtaining employment based green cards and citizenship, travel advisory, overseas visas, EB-5 investments, green cards and immigration assistance for parents and siblings, and strategic immigration support. We work closely and partner with dedicated outside immigration support vendors that help optimize large-scale immigration processing costs and ensure timely delivery of high-volume of caseload, particularly during the busy H-1B season.  

Startups

We enable inventors and founders set up 'Silicon Valley style' startups and provide end-to-end representation to these entities throughout various life-cycles, including pre-incorporation strategizing, incorporation, angel and seed financing, corporate governance, venture finance, mergers and acquisitions, pre-IPO support, dissolution and exits. We also represent founders, investors, employees, contractors and vendors in their individual arrangements with startups, co-workers and other investors, including stock options, corporate due diligence, negotiation of financing documents and service contracts, and startup counseling. We believe in developing long-term partnerships with early stage startups and their founders that continues even after they engage larger firms or service providers to service their growing needs, and are open to alternative fee arrangements, including cash+equity fee arrangements.
