Business and immigration counsel
Five connected areas bring business structure together with mobility for founders, investors, executives and employees.
One connected strategy
DGOPC connects corporate questions with the immigration needs of founders, investors, executives and employees. These services complement the firm’s immigration practice.
Counsel on establishing a U.S. business and selecting the entity that fits its ownership, liability and operational needs. DGOPC explains the practical advantages and limitations of structures such as an LLC, supports registration and helps obtain an IRS Employer Identification Number needed for banking and business documentation.
Integrated business and immigration advice for founders who need authorization to work, companies sponsoring a co-founder, and overseas businesses moving employees into U.S. operations. The team identifies an appropriate employment pathway and prepares the immigration petition around the company’s real plan.
A pathway for qualifying treaty-country companies engaged in substantial trade with the United States. Eligibility focuses on trade volume rather than a personal investment, with more than half of the company’s international trade generally involving the United States. Qualifying businesses may sponsor essential or executive employees of the same nationality.
A work-authorized pathway for qualifying treaty-country nationals investing a substantial amount in an active U.S. business. DGOPC’s founders have direct E-2 experience and assist with entity planning, investment documentation, business plans and a persuasive petition connecting the investment to a real operating enterprise.
For qualifying companies transferring a manager, executive or employee with specialized knowledge from an overseas business to a related U.S. company. It may support an existing U.S. operation or the opening of a new office, provided the foreign and U.S. entities have the required qualifying relationship.
