EB-5 Matters

Our firm is a leader in handling matters in the EB-5 investment immigration visa program, both from corporate and in litigation settings.

Bob Cornish has been named a Top 5 Litigation Attorney in the EB-5 space for the past several years by EB-5 Investor Magazine. Among the matters we handle include:

Redeployment Litigation.

These cases involve the involuntary loaning or use of money by projects and developers due to one’s immigration status in the EB-5 process. In such cases, we look for resolutions that may not require litigation, such as settlement or mediation. While one certainly does not wish to litigate if necessary, our firm has the skills and depth to tackle complex litigation matters in this space.

Fraud.

Regrettably, some EB-5 projects are rife with fraudulent conduct that put investors money and immigration status at risk. We are sensitive to this unique dynamic in securities litigation in such matters, and prosecute such matters for our clients aggressively to meet their objectives. Our firm has unique depth in the securities markets, immigration and law enforcement, all of which is applied in our cases from start to finish, whether they are in court or in arbitration.

Document Review.

Our firm often assists prospective EB-5 investors in the review of deal documents as to identify “hot button” issues of concern.

Securities / commodities Litigation & Arbitration

Investors

Investors working through securities and commodities brokers in the United States, or even those in private funds, are more often than not required to arbitrate claims. Our firm has handled cases of varying complexity and size for investors globally and has experience in the nuances of practice and procedure in such matters in both courts and in arbitration. In addition, our firm has extensive mediation experience in securities matters as well.

Litigation Funding

Large cases often require the assistance of third parties in the newly emerging litigation funding space. Our firm regularly works with prospective clients and prospective and engaged litigation funders to provide frank case evaluations and insights into working with one another.

Cryptocurrency

Theft/Conversion

The digital assets markets are fertile territory for untoward conduct that can place the assets of an investor at risk for theft or conversion. While not every case has merit, we examine all possible avenues of recovery to provide a plan of action with realistic objectives. Frequently, we work with counsel overseas to assist in such matters.

Fraud

One's loss of money in the purchase of digital assets does not necessarily amount to fraud that is actionable in court or arbitration. But where affirmative representations were made to investors about the success of a digital assets venture, we will examine the facts for the client to ascertain relevant paths of recovery.
