FAQs
Instead of finding and managing multiple advisors yourself, Global Private Counsel centralizes strategy and coordination so the work stays aligned across jurisdictions. This reduces conflicts, gaps, and delays that can happen when advice is fragmented. Plus, we know the professionals you need and where to find the best fit.
Yes. Global Private Counsel allows foreign individuals and companies to have a U.S.-based legal representative who can act on their behalf, accept service, coordinate banks, handle documentation, and manage legal matters without requiring travel to the United States.
Yes. We assist international clients with U.S. property acquisitions by forming appropriate entities, coordinating financing counsel, handling documentation, opening U.S. bank accounts, and managing wire transfers to ensure a compliant and efficient purchase.
Before funds move, we analyze entity structure, estate tax exposure, FIRPTA considerations, treaty access, and long-term exit strategy. Proper inbound investment planning reduces unnecessary tax risk and compliance problems later.
We can accept service on behalf of your U.S. entity, coordinate litigation counsel, manage negotiations, and supervise strategy so you do not need to appear personally unless required. Centralized oversight prevents costly missteps.
Yes. Through durable powers of attorney and direct coordination with financial institutions, we work to resolve banking issues, recover frozen funds, and ensure ongoing compliance with U.S. regulations.
We assist international clients in opening U.S. accounts, transferring funds between institutions, closing legacy accounts, and coordinating required documentation to satisfy U.S. banking compliance standards.
We perform due diligence, negotiate contracts, coordinate tax planning, and manage U.S. subsidiary formation when foreign companies acquire U.S. businesses. Early structuring protects against post-transaction tax exposure. Additionally, we have the insight to recommend if other professionals may be needed for a specific aspect of the transaction.
Yes. When necessary, we coordinate directly with foreign counsel and may participate in in-person negotiations abroad to ensure contracts and strategy remain aligned with U.S. legal and tax implications.
