About
Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP
Our internationally recognized group is among the largest and most respected immigration practices in the US. Our lawyers advise global brands and pre-eminent corporations across a wide range of industries. We anticipate and resolve issues before they become problems. Our team develops global workforce plans and mobility strategies, navigates complex immigration laws and policies, and ensures that our clients’ meet their global workforce management needs and comply with US immigration law. We advise our business clients on the best long and short-term approaches based on their needs, including the use of H-1B specialty occupation visas and L-1 visas for intra-company transfer of executives, managers and employees with specialized knowledge, as well as all other types of non-immigrant visa classifications and paths to permanent residence (such as a green card). In addition, we advise business clients on company-wide immigration policies, immigration law compliance, internal audits and government investigations/enforcement actions. We also represent individuals who, because of extraordinary ability or substantial investments in the US, do not require corporate sponsorship to immigrate. Our lawyers have cultivated strong working relationships with key members of Congress and decision-makers in the Departments of Homeland Security, State and Labor, which have enhanced our ability to advocate for clients and help shape immigration policy, regulations and legislation.
