Practice Areas

Eric Bord, a partner in the immigration practice, is nationally recognized as a leading business immigration attorney and counselor to clients on corporate immigration issues involving the recruitment, hiring, transfer, and retention of personnel worldwide. He also heads Morgan Lewis’s immigration compliance and risk management practice and regularly advises businesses on compliance and risk management in connection with their global immigration programs. This includes counseling on compliance with I-9 and E-Verify rules, representing clients during immigration investigations and in response to charges, and conducting immigration due diligence for corporate transactions. Clients value him as an immigration lawyer in a full-service law firm, where his strategic guidance and experience are informed by his work with lawyers in other practices that intersect with immigration, such as labor and employment, benefits, tax, and mergers and acquisitions.

His clients come from a variety of industries, including the retail/eCommerce, financial, technology, healthcare and life sciences, energy, manufacturing, and media sectors. Clients hire him to manage their global immigration programs or to partner with their in-house immigration teams. He covers the entire spectrum of business immigration, including all matters for temporary and permanent business, technical, scientific, and executive personnel as well as outbound/global visas.

A frequent author and speaker on immigration topics, he also develops and conducts training programs for clients and human resources professionals on the PERM labor certification process, the US visa and immigration system, I-9 and immigration compliance, and immigration issues for in-house counsel, among other topics.

His legal practice has focused exclusively on immigration and nationality law since the early 1990s. Prior to attending law school, he was associate director of Latin American and Caribbean programs at The Carter Center. After graduating from law school in 1990, he was a full-time consultant to The Carter Center on initiatives to promote democracy, human rights, and development.
