Our law firm in New York provides advice to international clients in the United States on all aspects of commercial and contract law, financial advice and wealth management, as well as inheritance law, estate planning and probate services. In addition, the law firm offers assistance in cases of personal injury inflicted during a stay in the United States, e.g. as a result of an accident or medical malpractice. In all of these areas, the New York law firm has access to the extensive UTF network in the United States and Europe. 

  

Commercial and Contract Law 

The office in New York renders comprehensive consulting services for international business transactions and supports you in the establishment of an adequate corporate structure. UTF Urban Federer & Thier competently advises private individuals and companies with an international background on the preparation of complex business transactions and assists in the drafting of complex business agreements and their negotiation between American and international parties. We assist large and medium-sized companies in the creation of purchase and sale agreements, license agreements, buy-outs and share takeover agreements. Furthermore, we are specialized in handling cross-border commercial litigation for your benefit; for example, our legal department represents related commercial litigation in the courts of New York, New Jersey and/or Connecticut.  

 

Financial Advice and Wealth Management 

We support you in establishing effective financial structures between the United States and other European countries. In particular, we advise high-net-worth foreign individuals and corporations on wealth transfer to the United States and related real estate planning. In this context, we also assist you in all questions of double taxation and provide consulting on residency and immigration law. We will guide you through all the formalities involved in the application for a visa up to and including the approval of, for example, investor visas for owners or managers or other types of visas tailored to your specific needs. 

  

Inheritance and Estate Law as well as Estate Planning 

Another area of expertise of the New York law firm concerns the increasing number of inheritance cases which foreign citizens are increasingly confronted with. UTF Urban Thier & Federer has many years of experience in representing non-US citizens in inheritance matters and in probate proceedings in the USA. Foreign property owners with substantial real estate assets in the United States face complex challenges in drafting wills or trust concepts that are recognized and enforceable in the United States as well as in Germany, the United Kingdom and other European countries. We will help you navigate the comprehensive international inheritance laws safely. 

  

Damages and Personal Injury 

UTF represents foreign nationals who have been injured during their stay in the United States and especially in New York as a result of a traffic accident or otherwise, like for example medical malpractice. We are particularly interested in assisting you quickly and efficiently in an already unpleasant situation and will vehemently represent your best interests in the event of a justified claim for damages.
