Immigration

We help companies, organizations and individuals navigate the myriad of complex immigration laws and policies, as well as the maze of government agencies involved with immigration services. We help businesses through all phases of the hiring and transfer of skilled foreign employees, such as engineers, scientists, educators, executives, and other professionals in business, medicine and technology.  We also represent individuals unique qualified and skillful and because of their abilities in their fields or industries, or because of their substantial investments in the United States, do not require employer sponsorship to immigrate. We are in the business of counseling clients on the immigration-related aspects of corporate restructurings, such as mergers and acquisitions, due diligence reviews, and divestitures.
