  • Charles Raether

Charles Raether is an EB-5 immigration lawyer and the founder and managing partner of AmLaw Group, a boutique immigration based in the Miami, Florida, area. AmLaw assists entrepreneurs and investors with their immigration, investment and commercial matters in the United States.

Although AmLaw works with wealthy investors from Europe, Asia and South America, the firm specializes in matters for clients from Russian-speaking markets. In 2017, AmLaw accounted for more than 25 percent of I-526 petitions filed by Russian investors.

Fluent in Russian and with years of experience in Russia, Raether regularly travels to Russia and neighboring markets for individual consultations, participation in trade shows, and the organization of proprietary events with partner agents throughout the region. He has written articles on EB-5 and the Russian market for industry organizations such as EB5 Investors Magazine and the IIUSA. He was also featured on the Discovery Channel.

Raether assists developers and regional centers in sourcing investors from Russia and surrounding countries. As other markets such as China and Vietnam encounter challenges with backlogs due to retrogression, Russia has become a source of increased attention for sourcing investors. AmLaw helps developers create regional centers, prepare offering documents and secure investors.

Raether has a diverse background in government, business and law. He has worked for some of the nation’s leading law firms in areas of private equity, venture capital and corporate law. Previously, Raether worked for Jones Lang LaSalle, a professional and financial services firm that specializes in investment management and commercial real estate. While at Jones Lang LaSalle, Raether worked in its Moscow office and as general director of its office in Kazakhstan.

He also served in the U.S. Department of Commerce. In this capacity, he served as head of the Kazakhstan country desk and worked with American and Eurasian business and government officials in growing U.S. commercial opportunities to emerging markets across Europe and Asia.

Raether earned his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in international relations from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While an undergraduate, Raether studied abroad at Moscow State University, where he became fluent in Russian. He is admitted to practice in the states of Virginia and New York. Raether is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association as well as other professional associations.

What does it mean to be a VERIFIED member of EB5Investors.com?

EB5Investors.com verifies attorney members before placing them on our directory. Not all professionals pass the verification process, and we are not paid by members in any way for verified badges. The entire verification process is performed by EB5Investors.com staff members based in Irvine, California.

We perform a background check on the member by using BeenVerified.com’s online background check tool. The BeenVerified.com criminal background database is compiled by pulling together public records. Misconduct, such as a proven criminal record, disqualifies the applicant from obtaining a verified badge from EB5Investors.com. For attorneys that practice law in the United States, a staff member also checks to make sure the attorney is in good standing with the BAR of the state they represent to practice bar in.

The Verified Badge does not mean or represent that the attorney has experience or specializes in immigration law. Please consult the State Bar or other government based sites for more information on a particular attorney.
