EB-5 Project Finance and Securities
Helsell Fetterman represents developers, project sponsors, and regional centers in transactions under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, as well as businesses structuring direct EB-5 investments. For a developer, EB-5 is first a financing transaction, with its own requirements for timing, investor rights, securities compliance, and repayment.
Our practice focuses on the corporate, financing, and securities side of EB-5 transactions. While we do not prepare immigration petitions, we work closely with outside immigration counsel and with colleagues in the firm’s Business Law, Real Estate Transactions, and Banking and Finance practices.
