01

You are about to sign an important contract

Four things to check before signing: scope, price and payment terms, the exit, and liability. If it is not written, it was not agreed.

02

You are doing a deal and do not know how to structure it

Before incorporating anything: who puts in what, who decides what, how it is shared and how you get out. If those four are not clear, no legal vehicle will fix them.

03

You are expanding to the United States

The question that decides everything is what for: raising capital there, opening operations, or using the U.S. company as a vehicle to the rest of the world.

Day-to-day operations keep you up at night

Receivables that do not come in, clients demanding what was never agreed, and a contract structure that makes the company liable for more than it should be.

You are looking for a partner, a client, a supplier or an investment

What is missing is not always a lawyer. Sometimes it is the person on the other side of the deal. That is where we come in, with our network.

Colombia · United States

Business runs both ways. So do we.

The foreign company entering Colombia and the Colombian company going global. Both ends, from here.

Outbound Inbound Colombia United States
Inbound · into Colombia

Foreign companies investing, operating or expanding in Colombia.

They acquire, set up operations or enter with a local partner. Executed directly, no intermediaries.

  1. Entry vehicle: branch, SAS or acquisition of a company
  2. Foreign investment registration and exchange rules
  3. Agreement with the local partner, majorities and exits
  4. Acquisitions, real estate and projects
  5. Operating contracts, employment and trademark
  6. Repatriation of profits
Executed from Colombia

Outbound · to the United States and the world

Colombian companies operating there, or using the U.S. as a vehicle.

To sell there, raise capital or expand from a structure funds already understand. With no tax treaty between the two countries, the structure decides the margin.

  1. Delaware or Florida, LLC or C Corp, depending on the goal
  2. Compliance from day one: EIN, registered agent, Form 5472
  3. The round: the structure and documents the fund expects
  4. Trademark before the USPTO
  5. Visas and green cards for the team that relocates

Business development

We do not just structure deals. We also bring them in.

We connect the two ends of a deal that need each other and have not met: a partner, a client, a supplier or an investment.

ALGO
Law Firm · Miami, Florida

Not a network of correspondents. ALGO Law Firm is a Miami-based corporate law firm. José Joaquín Sánchez García has been its partner for Colombia since 2023. That is why the outbound work is executed there, not recommended from here.
