International & Cross-Border Tax

International & Cross-Border Tax

For foreign owners with U.S. operations and U.S. residents with assets abroad. We structure inbound investment, handle FBAR and FATCA reporting, address FIRPTA withholding on U.S. real estate sales by foreign owners, and obtain U.S. residency certification for treaty benefits abroad. A green card generally makes you a U.S. tax resident, taxed on worldwide income, so we plan for that change before it takes effect.

How We Work

How We Work

A deliberately limited caseload

We take on fewer matters than a high-volume firm, by design. Your case receives focused, senior-level attention, not a place in a queue of hundreds.

Every filing reviewed, then reviewed again

Before anything reaches the government, it passes through a careful, multi-step review. The small errors and inconsistencies that trigger Requests for Evidence, delays, and denials are precisely what that process is built to catch.

Direct access to your attorney

You work with the attorney handling your case from start to finish, clear answers, proactive updates, one point of accountability, not a rotating cast of assistants.
