International Finance, Investment & Tax

The increasing globalization of the world economy has opened opportunities for individuals and businesses of all sizes and industries to offer their goods and services in the international marketplace. More than ever, the complexity of operating in foreign markets requires expert advice to ensure proper planning and compliance. United States entities doing business in other countries, and foreign companies doing business in the U.S., must consider a wide range of issues, from domestic and international regulations to tax status to corporate structure. From our headquarters in San Diego, Seltzer Caplan McMahon Vitek has the demonstrated expertise and experience to address these critical issues.

Our clients include high-net-worth individuals, multinational corporations, banks and financial institutions, family-owned entities, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. We have a significant focus on Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. We have helped major Asian companies with U.S. joint ventures, worked with Latin American companies developing infrastructure projects, counseled U.S. businesses developing distribution networks in Europe, assisted international businesses accessing financing in the Middle East, and advised U.S. and foreign families on cross-border asset structures.
