Kutak Rock Partner, Mariza McKee, served as a key resource for a recent Bloomberg Law article analyzing trends in EB-5 litigation following the 2022 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act.  She shared insight on how increased transparency and accountability are reshaping the EB-5 market:

“There’s a tendency to sensationalize litigation in EB-5 because of the immigration component, but the legal issues at stake are no different from what we see across private capital markets. EB-5 litigation reflects investor protection working as it should and a compliance framework that’s now among the most rigorous in the private investment space.”

Mariza is the Founder and Chair of Kutak Rock’s national EB-5 Finance Practice, a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience in securities, finance, litigation, and other core disciplines essential to EB-5 transactions. The group advises EB-5 stakeholders through every stage of the capital lifecycle—from structuring and fundraising to deployment, compliance, dispute resolution, and exit. Mariza serves as trusted counsel to regional centers, new commercial enterprises, developers, and project sponsors raising and deploying EB-5 capital in projects across the United States. Her team delivers practical, market-informed solutions strategically aligned with the legal and financial complexities of EB-5 transactions.
