For more than 50 years, Canadian businesses, individuals, nonprofits, and their advisors have turned to Hodgson Russ for U.S. legal advice that is precisely calibrated for cross-border clients. We provide high-quality, cost-efficient legal advice that focuses on the unique needs of our Canadian clients.

- Antitrust
- Bankruptcy and international creditors' issues
- Business structure and expansion
- Capital markets
- Employee benefits
- Estates and trusts
- Executive compensation and relocation
- Export administration regulations
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory matters

- U.S. commercial and residential real estate acquisition
- Tax (international, federal, state, local, and dispute resolution)

While our practice is restricted to U.S. law, we are frequently invited to present to peers and members of the public on cross-border legal topics by both Canadian and American organizations, including the American Bar Association, the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada, the Canadian Employee Relocation Council, the Canadian Tax Foundation, Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), the Council of American States in Canada, the Law Society of Upper Canada, and the Ontario Bar Association.

With much of our infrastructure in lower-cost jurisdictions, Hodgson Russ is able to offer clients a full range of excellent-quality legal services at lower fees than other large U.S. firms.
