KoKo Huang provides comprehensive services to companies, including securing work authorization for executives and essential employees, developing immigration compliance strategies, and representing companies in government investigations.

Partner KoKo also has developed noteworthy experience at the intersection of immigration compliance and litigation, defending companies in investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Wage and Hour Division.

Clients turn to KoKo for her ability to handle sophisticated matters. As an adviser and trainer for her clients, KoKo develops immigration strategies, programs, and processes for employers to reduce exposure, safely navigate immigration systems, and effectively manage foreign national workers. This includes helping multinational businesses align their operations standards and developing immigration strategies for the transfer of executives and other key employees. KoKo counsels companies on compliance requirements from governmental agencies, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the U.S. Department of State (DOS), and the DOL, and assists with the requisite disclosure and documentation requirements. When companies need assistance on behalf of their foreign national employees in the United States, KoKo helps secure work authorization visas, including H-1B, L, TN, E and O, as well as permanent labor certifications (PERM). She represents companies and individuals in the preparation of employment-based immigrant petitions and permanent residence applications. She also regularly conducts I-9 and other compliance audits and drafts immigration sponsorship policies.

KoKo's client service skills have drawn praise from her clients, who have said she is "a phenomenal partner and quickly understood our needs as a business," "has an incredible balance of IQ and EQ. She is also personable and very well versed in the law," and "is able to take complex issues and simplify them so the average business person can understand."

KoKo maintains an active pro bono practice, assisting organizations including Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, and the King County Bar Association's International District Legal Clinic. She regularly authors articles, conducts trainings, and presents on immigration law topics.
