Miami, Florida. April 7, 2015. The Minority Chamber of Commerce has selected Cole, Scott &
Kissane Attorney at Law to provide corporate business legal assistance to the Minority Chamber

The Minority Chamber of Commerce and our Preferred Member Cole, Scott & Kissane Attorney
at Law will work together to provide to local, national and international members with the legal
assistance and programs to be successful in South of Florida.
“We look forward to our new business legal assistance guidance and abilities by our Preferred
Member, Cole, Scott & Kissane, as we enter at the global arena,” says Doug Mayorga, Board
Chair & the Founder of the Minority Chamber of Commerce. “With the legal support from Cole,
Scott & Kissane, they will bring valuable experiences that will undoubtedly add to our entire
global, national and local businesses and our professional network at the Chamber”.
“Forming a Florida or other state entity in the United States is relatively straightforward but
there are a myriad of reasons (both corporate and tax related) as to which entity would work
best in a particular situation”, said Mr. Paul Lester, of counsel of the firm . “For non- resident
foreign investors a Subchapter C corporation is best, although it does subject the corporation to
a 5% Florida state income tax. Non- resident aliens cannot own an interest in Subchapter S
corporation (which is advantageous in terms of avoiding certain taxation at the corporate level
for US citizens)”.
On the other hand, Mr. Trelvis Randolph, another counsel for the firm express, “Our firm offers
the breadth and depth of experience to meet the varied needs of clients from all over the world
and locally, while maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit and philosophies of our founders. We
handle client matters from litigation to intellectual rights & acquisitions, and from real estate to
business legal registration & employment law — and everything in between”.

1. Formation of corporations, LLC’s and other entities preparation of related documentation
