For many businesses, expanding operations to the United States can open the door to new opportunities, but it can also bring new challenges. The United States is home to a complex and evolving legal landscape, and the interaction between Federal and State law-making activities can be especially difficult for new and existing market players to navigate.

LegalVision can deliver a seamless experience for UK businesses seeking U.S. legal advice through a cross-border partnership with a registered U.S law firm. No matter where you are based in England or Wales, you now have access to comprehensive legal support in one place.

We can provide businesses with access to support on a range of matters, including:

    • drafting and reviewing U.S. commercial contracts, and advising on the lawful sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code;

    • compliance with privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA);

    • compliance with advertising and consumer laws, such as the lawful use of endorsements, influencers and online reviews;

    • advice on business structuring and market expansion strategies, including company incorporation in Delaware; and

    • protecting your intellectual property (including trade marks) in the United States.

LegalVision can guide you through your legal responsibilities and help you streamline your expansion to the United States. We also offer price certainty, bringing further peace of mind. Call our team today on 0808 196 8584 or complete the form on this page.

How LegalVision Can Help

Experienced U.S. Legal Support Lawyers

Entering the United States can change how your business contracts, holds intellectual property, handles customer data and structures its operations. Decisions made before launch often determine how easily you can trade, raise capital or expand later. Taking advice before signing your first U.S. customer agreement, appointing a distributor or establishing a local entity gives you more scope to choose a structure and contract position that fits your commercial plans.

For an established UK business, U.S. expansion may begin with a major customer, a new sales channel, a strategic partnership or a decision to establish operations on the ground. The legal issues are rarely confined to one document. Federal and state requirements can affect the same project, while your UK arrangements may need to work alongside the U.S. position. We coordinate U.S. legal support through our cross-border partnership with a registered U.S. law firm, giving your business a single point of contact as the expansion develops.

Examples of when businesses come to us:

  • a major U.S. customer is ready to sign, and the proposed contract shifts unfamiliar commercial risks onto the UK business
  • U.S. sales are growing, and the existing structure no longer fits how the business intends to operate or raise investment
  • a product is preparing to launch, and its privacy, marketing and intellectual property position needs addressing before further capital is committed

Our expertise

  • Commercial contracts: We coordinate advice on U.S. customer, supplier, distribution and services agreements, including payment, performance and liability terms, so you can negotiate around how the deal will operate in practice.
  • Privacy and data: We advise on how U.S. privacy requirements affect your products, websites and customer information, so you can identify where your existing UK approach needs to change before launch.
  • Advertising and consumer matters: We advise on marketing claims, endorsements, influencers, reviews and consumer-facing terms, so you can launch campaigns and sales channels with relevant U.S. requirements considered.
  • Market entry and business structuring: We advise on U.S. incorporation and expansion structures, including ownership, contracting and future investment considerations, so you can choose a structure that supports the expansion.
  • Intellectual property: We advise on protecting and commercialising intellectual property in the United States, including trade marks and ownership arrangements, so key assets are addressed before material value is committed.
“UK businesses entering the United States should coordinate the legal work around the commercial expansion rather than treat each U.S. issue separately. We support founders, established businesses and in-house teams across contracts, market entry, privacy and intellectual property matters. Our clients return as their U.S. operations develop because each new decision can affect the structure already in place.”
