Cross-Border Counsel for Global Companies Doing Business in Texas

At Vanguard Legal, our attorneys provide sophisticated legal counsel for international business transactions, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and international tax planning. Although we are a boutique Texas law firm, our experience spans the globe—helping clients navigate business operations and investments across Europe, Canada, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East.

Our attorneys have represented multinational corporations, foreign investors, and U.S. companies expanding abroad. Several members of our team have practiced or received legal training overseas, giving us the cultural understanding and practical insight needed to bridge international business environments effectively.

Texas continues to attract international companies seeking growth in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and other major markets. Vanguard Legal helps foreign-owned businesses establish U.S. operations through subsidiaries, joint ventures, acquisitions, and expanded sales or distribution networks.

Our international tax attorneys design tax-efficient corporate structures and develop capital repatriation strategies to help clients minimize global tax exposure while maintaining compliance with both U.S. and foreign regulations.
