Practice Areas

This includes planning to attain long-term client goals; selecting the appropriate operational structure; establishing basic relationships (commercial, executive and banking); providing executive support such as executive participation and visas etc.; protecting industrial or commercial property (trademarks and trade secrets); due diligence research and reporting.

Lex International is able to help businesses navigate the complex systems of immigration laws, regulations and treaties in a timely manner. We provide immigration advice to domestic and foreign businesses and investors. We often render immigration services in conjunction with tax and estate planning for people receiving significant foreign-source income or for business executives. Through our networks, we assist clients in applying for, and facilitate their procurement of, appropriate visas.

Our designated compliance advisory team with a strong background in banking and financial risk management is servicing clients in developing KYC (know your client) protocols, policy management, representation and providing support with audit trails, setting compliance alerts and compliance calendars, preparing customized compliance reports, custom branding, asset risk reduction and operational responses to threats such as suspicious activity and compromised accounts.

Intellectual property (IP) law is a modern legal practice area that protects creations of the human mind. However, its importance and economic impact is often overlooked by those who create intellectual property. We take an integrated approach to successfully grow and protect our clients' innovations, to deliver comprehensive solutions to strengthen, defend and enforce their IP. From market leaders to dynamic startups, we help protect market position, assist in the creation, acquisition, protection and commercialization of intellectual property. Only member firms that are properly licensed and accredited in their respective jurisdictions provide IP law advice.

Providing high-quality services to our clients day by day we do our best to anticipate conflicts. In case the dispute still arises, we propose numerous options to make litigation avoidable. Among other alternatives, mediation is a powerful tool to nip lawsuits in the bud, resolve long-standing disputes and hopefully produce satisfactory solutions for both sides.
