BridgeHouse Law

BridgehouseLaw LLP is an international commercial law firm with offices in Atlanta, Berlin, Charlotte, Cologne, Guatemala City, Sao Paulo, and Vancouver. The Charlotte office is the firm's hub for legal services in the United States, and much of the firm's work involves foreign companies and individuals dealing with U.S. legal matters.

Charlotte's practice areas include business and corporate law, contract law, employment law, immigration, landlord-tenant law and evictions, mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, deed preparation and property transfers, intellectual property, international trade law, litigation, probate and estate administration, and estate planning.

A large share of the work is market entry. The firm forms U.S. subsidiaries — LLCs, LLPs, and corporations — in North Carolina and other states, drafts and files formation documents and bylaws, arranges registered agent and place of business, files annual reports, secures a federal tax ID, and sets up banking through a preferred partner. Alongside that it offers corporate hosting and secretarial services: a U.S. business address, mail intake, conference room rentals, U.S. telephone numbers, and administrative support for a company that has no physical location yet.

The firm's team is multilingual and it sells German and Italian translation services directly. For a landlord, the thing to weigh is scope: landlord-tenant law and evictions is one of roughly twenty listed practice areas rather than the firm's focus, and the site publishes no rates or fee arrangements.
