Although American Samoa generally adheres to a taxation regime similar to other U.S. jurisdictions, as a territory, it presents a unique environment in which to do business.

We advise clients on how to select and form business entities, including limited liability companies, corporations, and partnerships.

  • Private equity and fund formation
  • Real estate sales acquisitions.
