Fifteen years ago, I was the one abroad—confused by visa rules, lost in tax codes, blindsided by the cost of getting it wrong. I wasn’t just out of the country. I was out of my depth. That’s where Expat Legal began. Not as a business plan—as a legal lifeline.
​
Today, we help Americans around the world stay protected, compliant, and in control. From global tax disputes, foreign account reporting, and international estate planning to visa-ready legal paperwork and clean exits from the U.S. system—we handle the legal weight so you can move freely. Led by Parviz, a seasoned expat himself—from New York to Buenos Aires, LA to Panama, San Francisco to Canada—we know the terrain because we’ve lived it. And we’re here to guide you through it.
