Every year, United States receives many investors from around the world with Europe, Central America, South America, and Asia contributing the majority of these investors. Foreign investments require investors to make frequent business trips to the United States. Moreover, most financial transactions involve the use of brokerage firms and European, Asian, or Latin American bank branches located in the United States. These money conduit channels have often led to the loss of investment funds for foreign investors. This is where an international investment attorney comes in.
