The Guam office was established in 1978, and expanded a few years later through a merger with a firm which had been practicing in Guam since the 1950's. Attorneys in this office provide legal services in areas including real estate investment, business transactions, labor and employment, international, and commercial. Guam has a very active Foreign Sales Corporation(FSC) program which enables U.S. exporters to significantly reduce U.S. federal income tax on their export sales profits. In this office, we establish and manage FSCs, and provide full FSC services to several hundred U.S. exporters. The economies in the Western Pacific are largely based on the islands' attraction to tourists from Asia. Our Western Pacific offices represent many offshore investors and businesses from both the United States and Asia, particularly those involved in the hospitality/tourism, retail and telecommunications industries.

The law firm of Carlsmith Ball LLP is a Pacific Region firm with an integrated network of offices throughout Hawaii in Honolulu, Kapolei, Maui, Hilo, Kailua-Kona, and in Hagatna\Guam, Saipan and Los Angeles. We can provide clients with legal services in each location.
