Cross-Border Business Transactions and Corporate Formation

Entering the United States marketplace involves crucial corporate structural decisions. Acting as knowledgeable business formation lawyers, contract lawyers, and business and real estate lawyers, attorney Timo Becker guides international clients through every stage of entity lifecycle management:

• U.S. Subsidiary and Entity Formation: Establishing limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations, preparing customized operating agreements, and drafting shareholder resolutions tailored to transatlantic governance.
• Commercial Contracts and Distribution: Structuring international distribution agreements, agency contracts, manufacturing agreements, and supply contracts for foreign companies selling goods in the United States.
• Employment and Executive Agreements: Preparing enforceable employment contracts, executive compensation agreements, and non-disclosure covenants compliant with Florida and federal labor standards.

International Tax Planning and IRS Compliance

Tax considerations dictate the viability of international corporate structures. As seasoned tax lawyers, the firm advises multinational companies and non-resident aliens on navigating the United States-Germany Double Taxation Treaty, avoiding double taxation, and managing permanent establishment risks. Attorney Becker handles complex IRS reporting requirements, including Form 5472 for foreign-owned domestic entities, Form 5471, Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR FinCEN Form 114), FATCA disclosures, and cross-border exit tax planning.

Business Immigration and Investor Visas

Relocating key personnel and business owners is critical for corporate expansion. Operating as experienced business and work visa lawyers and immigration lawyers, the practice secures non-immigrant visas for foreign talent. Attorney Becker prepares comprehensive E-2 treaty investor and E-1 treaty trader visa applications for German and European entrepreneurs, L-1 intracompany transferee petitions for multinational managers, and B-1 business visitor documentation, coordinating immigration strategies with corporate entity formation.
