This CLE webinar will provide counsel with an overview of the legal landscape as it applies to entrepreneurs who seek lawful immigration status in connection with establishing, owning, or continuing a startup or small business in the United States. The program will focus on the various options and programs available to such entrepreneurs as well as to family members and key employees.

Description

With its favorable business climate, relatively low regulatory burden, access to capital, and low tax rate, the U.S. is an attractive destination for many international non-citizen entrepreneurs who seek to establish a startup or small business.

At the same time, the maze of U.S. immigration laws and regulations can pose significant challenges. Those seeking a work visa for themselves, their families, and key employees must navigate the complex processes and ever-changing regulations of the U.S. immigration system.

Depending on founders' and key employees' needs and unique situations, as well as the structure of the business entity, several avenues to securing a visa to the U.S. may be available. Counsel must understand the criteria of and eligibility requirements for the various options in order to create effective strategies tailored to each client's circumstances.

Listen as our expert panel guides counsel through the various immigration solutions and strategies available to founders, startups, and small businesses. The panel will also discuss best practices for aiding startups and small businesses in creating strong and compliant immigration policies.
