Global Immigration

The attorneys of the Global Immigration Practice Group focus their practices exclusively on immigration law.  Our attorneys keep abreast of daily developments in the world of immigration law, including Congressional legislation, policies enacted by agencies such as U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service, and global events affecting the migration of people.

The Global Immigration Practice attorneys advise clients internationally on a wide variety of  immigration issues, including bringing foreign workers into the U.S., protecting the legal status of foreign workers already inside the U.S., and sending U.S. workers abroad for temporary or long-term overseas assignments.

In an age of increased immigration enforcement, our experienced immigration attorneys work with clients to ensure comprehensive compliance with federal immigration laws. This includes conducting precautionary audits of I-9 documentation, devising company-wide policies to ensure legal work authorization of workers, and providing advanced computer software to streamline I-9/E-Verify compliance.
