Legal Services for Immigration, Business, Tax & D.C. Trusts & Estates
Legal Services
Carrizo Global Law PLLC provides legal counsel in four principal practice areas: U.S. immigration, business and corporate law, federal tax and IRS matters, and District of Columbia trusts and estates.
Some legal matters are discrete. Others involve multiple legal issues, jurisdictions, or business and family considerations. Our role is to identify the applicable legal framework, understand the client’s objectives, and provide a clear path forward.
For clients with cross-border needs, these services may also be coordinated through our Global Mobility perspective.
Focused Legal Counsel. Coordinated When Needed.
Not every legal matter requires a multidisciplinary strategy. Some clients need a defined legal service, an immigration filing, a corporate agreement, guidance on a federal tax issue, or an estate plan.
Other matters involve legal issues that overlap. A business decision may have tax consequences. Immigration planning may intersect with employment or corporate structure. Estate planning may involve business ownership or succession.
Carrizo Global Law begins by identifying the legal issue, governing law, applicable jurisdiction, and the client’s objectives. When matters intersect, we coordinate the legal analysis so that decisions in one area can be evaluated in light of relevant considerations in another.
The result is focused representation with a broader perspective when the matter requires it.

When Practice Areas Intersect
Many legal matters can be handled within a single practice area. Others involve decisions that affect more than one area of law.
A business owner pursuing immigration status may also need to consider entity structure and federal tax consequences. A founder planning succession may need corporate and estate-planning documents to work together. An internationally connected family may face immigration, ownership, tax, and estate-planning considerations at the same time.
When these issues overlap, Carrizo Global Law coordinates the legal analysis so that decisions in one area are considered in light of the relevant consequences in another.
This does not mean every matter becomes multidisciplinary. Our approach is to involve only the legal services that are actually relevant to the client’s objectives, applicable law, and jurisdiction.
The objective is coordinated legal planning when needed not complexity for its own sake.
