Global Immigration
We provide comprehensive and coordinated immigration solutions to clients transferring current employees between countries and hiring international talent anywhere in the world. In addition, we advise on the immigration consequences of acquisitions, including how to manage immigration due diligence pre-acquisition and immigration processes post-acquisition. We also coordinate visas for international business travelers, specializing in providing seamless visa services for multinational executives.
US Immigration
Our services cover the entire spectrum of immigration—from student status to temporary work visas (H-1B, L-1, TN, etc.) to permanent residence and citizenship. We specialize in helping clients establish and utilize blanket L and E programs to transfer executives and other professionals, obtain O-1 status for their highest-performing employees, and sponsor all levels of employees for permanent residence through the PERM and EB-1 processes. In addition, we provide global mobility services through our international partners. We also handle the full range of family-based categories and partner with our corporate clients’ legal departments on immigration pro bono representations.
