Bridging the Atlantic: Expert Legal Services

Attorney Andrew R. Sones, a distinguished member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the American Bar Association (International Law and Business Law Sections), brings specialized knowledge to the firm’s clients.


"The United States offers immense opportunities for British businesses, but the legal landscape can be daunting," says Attorney Sones. "Our mission is to demystify U.S. law, providing the strategic support needed to succeed across the Atlantic."

Comprehensive Support for Expansion

Crownside Legal’s services are tailored to address the specific needs of UK-based entities, including:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to both federal and state-level American regulations.


  • Contracts & Transactions: Drafting and reviewing agreements that protect British interests in a U.S. context.

Tailored Solutions for UK Entities

Whether you are looking to establish a new subsidiary, acquire a U.S. company, or send key employees overseas, having a London-based firm with U.S. expertise provides a unique advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is U.S. business law the same in every state? No. While federal laws (like immigration) apply nationwide, business formation, employment laws, and taxes vary significantly by state. We help you choose the jurisdiction that best suits your industry.


Do I need a U.S.-based partner to start a company? Generally, no. Foreign nationals and UK entities can own 100% of a U.S. business, though specific tax and visa considerations apply depending on your level of involvement.

How does Crownside Legal differ from a standard U.S. firm? We specifically cater to the UK market, understanding the cultural and legal nuances of British businesses and providing a "bridge" that simplifies the transition to the American system.
