Davies & Associates ("D&A") has grown to become the largest global law firm specializing in US, UK and Italian business and investment immigration together with Citizenship and Residency by Investment (together, “CBI”).
Our lawyers are regarded as the leaders in the US E2 investment visa, the US EB5 visa, the US L1 visa and Italian Elective Residency.
Despite our global presence in CBI, D&A prides itself on the individual attention we give our clients. Our mantra is “local service, global expertise”. We are unlike visa consultancies and certain other law firms in that we represent the interests of our clients and do not fulfil the role of “visa broker".
Clients should also be aware that visa agencies do not benefit from attorney-client privilege. This means that a non law firm agent may be able to be compelled to hand over client sensitive information to National governments or other parties in litigation proceedings; in contrast courts have systematically upheld the secrecy of attorney records and law firms cannot be compelled to produce private client information.
Our firm is privileged to be the firm of choice for European governments seeking United States visas, major multi-nationals, some of the world's most significant business families and individual entrepreneurs. Our private clients team also assist individuals and smaller families in their pursuit of their global movement and growth plans.
Our firm has language capabilities in: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Hindi, Urdu, Kannada, Punjabi, Gujarati, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Ukrainian, Africans, Swahili, Xhosa, Shona, Tagalog, Danish and Welsh (!)
