Business Immigration

We understand that business owners must attract and retain top talent to achieve strategic goals and remain competitive. Because our clients recruit specific talent critical to their success, we ensure that these employees are treated respectfully, as individuals. We make sure that clients' inside counsel and HR management can get the answers they need in this volatile area of law, by talking with a senior attorney or partner. This approach ensures we can make a difference in every case. Our clients range from individuals to major multinational firms in industries including technology, financial services, energy and manufacturing.

We help employers secure the talent of highly skilled foreign nationals, including multinational executives and managers. We partner with employers to navigate complex and constantly changing immigration laws, employer sanctions, record-keeping and anti-discrimination provisions under current immigration laws and regulations. For employees who undertake a job assignment in a new country, we assist with education and understanding of how immigration laws affect them.

To give our immigration clients economical and up-to-the-minute progress reports on their cases, we offer online immigration case management. This simple, secure, Web-based program provides quick and secure status updates from anywhere in the world.

Representative services include:
  • Securing nonimmigrant visas for foreign nationals working temporarily in executive, managerial, professional, skilled or specialized knowledge positions
  • Obtaining permanent residence status for foreign employees that corporate employers want to sponsor for permanent employment
  • Defending employers against complaints for alleged violations of record-keeping and anti-discrimination regulations
  • Advising employers on completion of Form I-9s and assisting them in preparing for workplace audits and enforcement activities.
