California Regulatory Lawyer for Israeli Businesses
California Professional License Lawyer for Israeli Businesses
California remains an attractive place for Israeli companies to do business. California is the fifth largest economy in the world. California has the largest population of any state in the United States. Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, has the largest Israeli population outside of Israel. Unfortunately, doing business in California is not easy. Even for California or American companies based in other states, California maintains the strictest regulatory compliance of any state. In many ways, California bureaucracy is similar to Israel, but California has more difficult licensing and enforcement structures. Many types of work in California require a business license, occupational license or professional license. Obtaining these licenses from outside of California or the United States can be difficult. Even the process of obtaining a business license or professional license even for individuals and businesses located in California. Common examples of business licenses and professional licenses required to perform work include:
- Contractor License (Engineering Contractor License, General Contractor License & all subcontractor licenses)
- Engineer License
- Geologist License
- Insurance License
- Land Surveyor License
- Mortgage Loan Originator License
- Private Patrol Operator License
- Real Estate Broker License
- School Operating Approval
California Regulatory Compliance Attorney for Companies in Israel
Certain industries in California may or may not require a business or professional license. However, these industries may be subject to California government regulations. Violations of these regulations can result in substantial fines and other serious consequences. For example, the California Air Resources Board regulates air pollution. For products or vehicles that violate air pollution regulations, the California Air Resources Board can issue significant fines and other penalties. The legal structure in California is different than in Israel, as well as different than most other states. California regulatory agencies are very focused on enforcement. Fines and penalties are large, even compared to other states. We represent Israeli companies requiring California Regulatory compliance before California government agencies, including:
