Terms & Disclosures

General information, legal notice, and risk disclosure.

Attorney advertising and general information

This website may be considered attorney advertising. Its content is educational and general. It is not a substitute for legal advice based on your individual facts and does not provide tax, securities, accounting, patentability, valuation, or investment advice.

No attorney-client relationship

Using this website, emailing, calling, or submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after conflicts clearance and a signed engagement agreement that defines the scope of work.

Immigration outcomes are not guaranteed

E-2 eligibility and approval depend on the applicant, nationality, enterprise, investment, documentation, adjudicator, and current law and policy. No investment amount, business model, attorney, or filing strategy can guarantee a visa or immigration benefit.

Investment and commercial risk

Capital used for an E-2 enterprise must be genuinely at risk. Patent and technology ventures can lose money. Any target multiple, including an illustration such as 1.3×, is an objective only—not a promise, guaranteed return, forecast, or statement of expected performance. Returns may be delayed, below target, or zero, and principal may be lost.

Patent and intellectual-property risk

Patent applications may be rejected, narrowed, delayed, challenged, invalidated, or rendered less valuable by technology or market changes. A patent or application does not ensure demand, licensing, sale, enforceability, freedom to operate, or commercial success.

Separate parties and agreements

The U.S. operating company, its investors, legal counsel, patent professionals, managers, contractors, and commercial partners may have separate roles and agreements. Investment capital belongs to the operating company under the applicable transaction documents; legal fees and representation are governed by a separate engagement.

No offer or solicitation

Website content is not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy a security or investment interest. Any opportunity must be documented separately and reviewed for applicable securities, tax, corporate, immigration, and other laws.

External links and updates

Government and third-party links are provided for convenience. Their content can change. The office does not control third-party websites and does not promise that website content is complete, current, or applicable to your situation.
