Securities Attorneys
When building an EB-5 offering, Securities Attorneys ensure compliance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines and compliance with the mandates and regulations of the EB-5 program. Given the specialized nature of the EB-5 program, developers must rely on experts who are established in their field and have a record of proper preparation of the necessary Private Placement Memorandum and more.
The Saul Ewing interdisciplinary team of professionals who handle EB-5 financings are experienced in corporate and securities, immigration, commercial real estate, finance, international and tax matters. Our lawyers advise businesses (including real estate developers and other project companies, regional centers and foreign and domestic EB-5 agents and consultants) who are seeking EB-5 financing from foreign investors, as well as foreign investors interested in obtaining permanent residence in the United States through making an EB-5 investment. Our attorneys have represented clients in structuring and negotiating private securities offerings for more than 450 projects, in which offerings have amounted to in excess of $8 billion.
Greenberg Traurig works with developers, private equity funds, and organizations to determine the options available to them for developing new projects that might qualify for EB-5 investment through either new or existing Regional Centers. We represent many regional centers and have a long track record in counseling sponsors on developing the appropriate EB-5 vehicle to meet their goals. Regardless of the method or strategy selected to take advantage of the EB-5 program, ongoing immigration, tax and securities compliance is the key to creating and maintaining a thriving and successful center or project. Our EB-5 team includes experienced immigration, securities and tax counsel capable of helping clients understand the appropriate laws, structure transactions that minimize regulatory oversight and implement efficient compliance programs.
