Considine & Zawadzka is a premier boutique international law firm located in mid-town Manhattan, at the intersection of 57th & Madison Avenue. 

The firm specializes in providing professional hands-on legal assistance to individuals & companies in establishing a professional business and/or personal presence anywhere in the USA.  The service includes the full range of immigration related matters, whether involving temporary or permanent residence in the US.  Further service includes structuring, financing & actual set-up of appropriate entities, among them, corporations, limited liability companies [LLC’s] & partnerships.  As well, the firm can provide special guidance on real estate matters, including the purchase of apartments [condominiums / cooperatives], houses as well as commercial buildings. 

 

In essence, our services include:

 

 Immigration:  Guidance in the full range of immigration matters, whether based on personal or professional status;  we routinely are involved in green cards and the myriad of visas available to professionals & business people, among them, H’s / L’s & E’s.  Other visas include, K’s [Fiancé], V [spouse], F [student] & the like.  For those with specific or general immigration questions, we offer a personalized service that provides an evaluation of all the potential options available to live & work in the US.

 

 Business Set-up:  Guidance in setting up a business in the US, including the type of entity [corporation / limited liability co. / partnership] & its location, harmonized with any immigration issues involving foreign executives, managers or specialized knowledge workers. 

 

 Real Estate:  Full hands-on help through the whole process of purchasing a business or real estate in the New York metropolitan area.   That help would go from selecting the area in which to live, to the kind of property to purchase [home / co-op / condo], to selecting the broker with which to work as well as arranging financing.  On the financing side, we are almost always able to assist in arranging mortgages for clients, no matter what the visa / immigration status may be.  NB:  we work directly with mortgage banks, therefore, mortgage broker fees [points] are never charged – this results in a major saving in any purchase of real estate.
