FRENCH DESK
Helping French companies establish and grow in the United States
Krymkier Law advises French and European companies on their establishment, operations, growth, and strategic projects in the United States.
We assist clients at different stages of their development in the U.S. market, from initial market-entry considerations to the structuring of their U.S. presence, whether through direct cross-border operations, contractual arrangements, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or the formation and ongoing support of U.S. subsidiaries. We also advise on commercial contracts, hiring, corporate governance, and ongoing legal support.
Our firm is designed for companies seeking practical legal guidance in connection with their U.S. operations and wishing to work with counsel who understands the cross-border realities of doing business between Europe and the United States.
Practical legal support for U.S. expansion
Expanding into the United States often raises a series of closely connected legal questions. A company may need to determine whether it is preferable to operate from abroad, rely on contractual or commercial arrangements, enter into a strategic partnership or joint venture, or establish a U.S. entity. It may also need to structure its relationships with customers, distributors, partners, founders, investors, or a foreign parent company, decide when to hire locally, and ensure that its U.S. operations remain properly supported from a legal and corporate standpoint as they develop.
Krymkier Law helps clients address these issues in a coordinated, pragmatic, and business-oriented way.
