At Portalatin Business Law Firm, we provide foreign investor and business law services in Miami and throughout the Miami-Dade County region with a focus on proactive planning, brand protection, and risk reduction.
Since April 2017, our team has helped founders and business owners set up clear contracts, stronger legal foundations, and practical strategies that support long-term growth.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 54.5% of Miami-Dade County residents were foreign-born (2020–2024), showing why cross-border legal planning is common in Miami.
One client shared about working with us, “She walked me through all of the different types of companies… and how to protect my brand.,” reflecting the kind of clear guidance many entrepreneurs want when they are choosing an entity, setting ownership terms, and protecting intellectual property.
Our goal is to help you prevent problems before they start, with documents and strategies designed to reduce confusion, limit liability, and protect what you are building. If you are launching a new company in Miami or expanding an established brand into South Florida, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
A foreign investor lawyer helps non-U.S. citizens invest, buy, launch, and operate a business in Miami while reducing avoidable legal risk. The role is not just “forming an LLC.” It is building the legal structure and contracts that make it safer to move capital, sign leases, hire teams, protect your brand, and work with partners in the U.S.
In Florida, that often starts with choosing the right entity and documenting ownership clearly. Florida’s Division of Corporations reports 2,683,757 active LLCs and 779,697 active domestic profit corporations (last updated January 6, 2026), reflecting how commonly investors choose between these entity types. The right choice depends on your goals, investors, tax posture, and how you want management to work.
A Miami foreign investor lawyer typically supports:
For foreign founders, the “right” entity is usually the one that fits your ownership structure, investor plans, and how you’ll operate from outside the U.S.
What matters more when you’re abroad
Portalatin Business Law Firm helps coordinate entity setup essentials (EIN, Operating/Shareholder agreement, registered agent, and initial consents).

Established in April 2017, our focus has always been proactive business law, like structuring companies correctly, tightening contracts before you sign, and protecting intellectual property early so problems are less likely to surface later.
Many of our clients are entrepreneurs from Latin America who are entering the U.S. market for the first time or expanding an existing operation into Florida. We make the process clearer by offering trilingual legal services, so you can discuss strategy, risks, and next steps without language or cultural gaps.
Our work is practical and business-minded. That can look like advising on the right entity and ownership terms for a cross-border partnership, or putting IP protections in place before a brand launches.
The goal is to reduce liability, protect what you are building, and support long-term growth with documents and structures that hold up under real-world pressure.
If you are investing in Miami or expanding into Florida, the fastest way to avoid costly mistakes is to get your legal structure and contracts reviewed before you sign or wire funds.
