Why Harvey Law Group

A Founder's Vision: Trust, Reliability, Integrity

When Jean-François Harvey founded Harvey Law Group in 1992, he knew there had to be a better way to serve clients in complex, life-changing situations.

Staying true to its founder's commitment to dedication and credibility, Harvey Law Group (HLG) has remained the world's largest investment immigration law firm with more than 30 years of experience in global mobility.

Global Presence, Local Know-How

From our Montreal origins to more than 20 offices across key multinational markets, we've earned a worldwide reputation for excellence while helping thousands of individual and family clients achieve their immigration and investment goals.

Our global network coupled with our local expertise and accreditation as a credible immigration law firm empowers us to offer unique business law and immigration investment solutions and programs with a distinct impact on our clients' lives.

Our practice areas, honed through more than three decades of experience, span the full spectrum of global mobility needs:

  • Citizenship by investment
  • Residency by investment
  • Business law
  • Private Client services
  • Due Diligence Services

The HLG Difference: Unmatched Expertise And Solutions

We believe that the value of mobility stems from comprehensive strategies that consider your needs from all angles and are not reduced to catchphrases such as visa-free travel.

Our commanding presence in key markets and jurisdictions across continents - from Hong Kong through the Middle East, Africa and Europe all the way to Canada and the United States - is testament to our unparalleled global perspective, immigration law expertise and international investment solutions.

Whether interested in Caribbean citizenship, exploring European residency programs and employment-based programs in the U.S., or re-discovering your roots via citizenship by ancestry, our approach is the same: thorough, ethical, and focused on your long-term success.

The High Stakes of International Immigration Law

When making decisions about citizenship by investment or residency by investment programs, you're investing in your family's future, mobility, and worldwide business opportunities.

The interest in mobility solutions has never been higher. Investment migration generates roughly USD 20 billion per year. The programs attractive to investors have never been more diverse.

However, your investment value is not just in the program you choose, but in the lawful, competent and holistic immigration and investment planning you receive throughout the process.

In three decades of practice, we've witnessed countless stories of high-net-worth individuals who learned this the hard way, falling prey to unethical practices aimed at maximizing profits through questionable means while being subject to legal risks with potentially devastating consequences.

At HLG - a boutique law firm owned by immigrant investors - we've built our practice on a fundamental principle: providing sophisticated legal representation and holistic planning for immigration.

Our Holistic Approach

Perhaps the greatest benefit of choosing Harvey Law Group is our unwavering commitment to ethical practice and holistic consultation.

When clients come to us, they may already have a particular program in mind. But we consider it our fiduciary duty to ask: "Why? What's your ultimate goal?" so that our clients may discover new programs and solutions that fit their needs through comprehensive investment migration planning.

Our lawyers devise long-term financial and personal benefit strategies for clients, including careful consideration of wealth diversification and tax optimization opportunities, always within legal and ethical boundaries.

We're not here to sell you a program. We're here to build your international mobility strategy.
