MBM Commercial has a highly experienced team of US qualified lawyers on the ground in the UK who can provide you and your business with tailored solutions that pave the way for success in the dynamic US market. We provide expert guidance in US Corporate Law, Employment, Immigration and Contracts.
Your Gateway to US Corporate Success
The US offers great opportunities for businesses; it is a large, diverse market and expansion there has been the catalyst for many business successes. On the other hand, the US is also a rigid, highly regulated and litigious environment. Discover how partnering with us is your strategic advantage in corporate endeavours.
Local Expertise, Global Impact
A local touch with a global reach—navigating the intricate landscape of US Corporate Law with precision.
Our team is well-versed in the insights into jurisdictional nuances that set your business on a path to global impact. While the business and legal words are broadly similar to the UK, there are many important differences and potential pitfalls. In addition to the US corporate advice, we also provide US Contract, US employment law and US immigration advice for UK businesses.
One of the factors which contributes to the highly regulated environment is that US law is made at several levels, principally at federal and state levels, but also at local city and county levels – municipalities may have their own sets of rules and regulations applicable to particular local areas and issues. Each of the 50 US states has its own law and, while uniform laws have been adopted by many states, each state’s law is distinct. While the business set-up process is similar for US residents and non-residents, there are additional complications to be aware of. Given the complex regulatory regime and potential pitfalls, it is important to prepare and plan before entering the US market and to protect your business.
Navigating Expansion with Confidence
