Sheppard, Mullin, Richter, & Hampton LLP has been named a Go-To Thought Leader by the National Law Review in the field of immigration law. Sheppard Mullin’s Immigration Practice Group saw significant traction throughout the year detailing the changing H-1B landscape. In particular, authors Greg L. Berk, Andrew J. Desposito, and Christine L. Doyle authored the article “Annual H-1B Visa Lottery Will Open on March 1, 2022,” which reached well over 40,000 readers in 2022.

Sheppard, Mullin, Richter, & Hampton LLP has been named a Go-To Thought Leader for their ongoing coverage of COVID-19 PPP (Payroll Protection Program) loan forgiveness requirements and rules. As the pandemic has changed how companies operate, the U.S. Small Business Administration has published a series of Interim Final Rules that affect loan forgiveness requirements, review procedures, and more. Authors Nirav Bhatt, Bijal N. Vira, and Peter Carson have tirelessly covered the ever-shifting status quo of PPP loans, providing clarity on the more nebulous and confusing elements of coronavirus relief.
