BUSINESS & IMMIGRATION

French, Belgian and Swiss business immigration lawyers

Lexial law firm box for sweden and for all the Europe

Business & Immigration in Schengen States is not a “program”, it is an Art.

As first commercial power in the world, European Union is attractive to foreign investors from many countries. As one of the first financial and most competitive places, this is also the case of Switzerland.

International mobility is a constantly moving field. In Belgium, the 6th Reform of the State, in force since January 2015, transferred the decision power to Regions, which notably changed the practice to obtain professional cards. A professional card is a mandatory tool for non-EU citizens to create a Belgian company and to become resident on this basis.

In France, since 2016, the”Talent Passport” is an amazing tool allowing residency, open to several kinds of profiles: investors, starters, IT specialists and executives or qualifies employees.

In Switzerland, a vote of 9 February 2014 has lead to a more restrictive approach on immigration and investors should be able to show high level investment capacities. But taxation lump remains attractive.

In Brussels, Paris and Geneva, Lexial is also the leading firm in the field of professional immigration for expatriated executives and their employers in obtaining authorizations of occupation and work permits (including for posting / secondment), or in setting up special tax systems for foreign executives, as well as in all legal aspects of the employment relationship and daily life.

 

In this field of competence we have been awarded by:

HOW IT WORKS

(France and Belgium – for Switzerland please contact us):
 

You can apply for citizenship after 5 years of residency.

 

In order to obtain residency, you need a D-Visa.

 

To obtain a D-Visa, you need (generally) a “Business Visa“: Talent Passport in France, or a Professional Card or Single Permit in Belgium.

 

The biggest part of our job is to assist you to obtain the “Business Visa”, which is the more critical and difficult step.

Business immigration and criminal lawyers in France, Belgium and Switzerland

 

Créé en 2007 dans un esprit d’innovation et de modernité, Lexial est actif dans un nombre restreint de spécialités.

C’est tout d’abord en droit international et européen de l’immigration d’affaires que le cabinet s’est distingué compte tenu de l’expérience de ses avocats dans les domaines de la mobilité internationale, de l’immigration professionnelle et des problématiques propres à l’expatriation.

Le cabinet est à ce titre recommandé par différents organismes internationaux de référencement, mentionnés par ailleurs dans ce site.

Plus spécifiquement, nous conseillons nos clients en matière de permis de travail, de carte professionnelle pour indépendant, de permis de résidence et de nationalité dans les pays dans lesquels nous sommes présents.

Présent à Paris comme à Bruxelles depuis 2007, Lexial est depuis lors le cabinet de référence des Français de Belgique. Outre cette activité dominante, nous assistons les entreprises et les particuliers dans toutes les branches du droit des affaires, en droit du travail, ainsi qu’en droit pénal.

Ons advocatenkantoor werd opgericht met een innovatiegeest en de wens van een andere moderne aanpak van de rechtspraktijk in te voeren.

Het innovatieve geografische bedekkingsgebied van Lexial laat het kantoor toe, cliënten te bedienen van kantoren in Brussel, Parijs en Geneva, die met Europese en internationale rechtsaangelegenheden te doen hebben.

Het kantoor concentreert zich op een beperkt aantal deskundig rechtsvakken. Benevens de kleine selectie van traditionele rechtsdiensten die het voorstelt – strafrechtelijk, politiek, zaken- en tewerkstellingsrecht-, resulteerde de unieke aanpak van het kantoor in een enge scherpstelling op internationaal en Europees zakenimmigratierecht.

Het kantoor beschikt over erkende expertise op vlak van internationale mobiliteit, uitgewekenenzaken en beroepsimmigratie en kan aan cliënten raadgeven op specifieke materiën, m.i.v. werkvergunning, beroepskaart, nationaliteit en verblijftoelating in België, Frankrijk en Zwitserland.

Binnen dit raam ontwikkelden wij sterke betrekkingen met landen van het Midden-Oosten, in het bijzonder de Golfstaten (VAE en Qatar), maar eveneens met Azië en Rusland.

Наша компания была создана в духе новаторства и с желанием реализовать современный подход к юридической практике. Географическое положение офисов Lexial позволяет компании обслуживать клиентов в Брюсселе, Париже и Женеве по вопросам европейского и международного права. Компания сосредотачивает свою деятельность на ограниченных областяx права. В дополнении k более традиционным юридическим услугам – в уголовном, политическом, деловом и трудовом праве – компания развила со временем уникальный подход в облaсти миграции бизнеса на фоне европейского и международного законодательства. Компания обладает также большим опытом в области международной мобильности включая профессиональную иммиграцию, и может консультировать клиентов по конкретным вопросам, в том числе разрешение на работу, запрос на получение профессиональной карты, гражданства и вид на жительство в Бельгии, Франции и Швейцарии. В рамках нашей деятельности, мы разработали прочные партнерские отношения со странами Ближнего Востока, в частности государствами Персидского залива (ОАЭ и Катар), но и со странами Азии и России.
