In today’s aggressive immigration enforcement landscape, our seasoned immigration team provides sophisticated counsel to help employers navigate complex compliance demands, manage operational risk, and maintain workforce talent priorities.
The new administration has launched an unprecedented "shock and awe" immigration enforcement campaign designed to break the "employment magnet" and fundamentally transform the employer compliance landscape. Through executive orders and multi-agency task forces, federal and state authorities are conducting widespread workplace raids, aggressive I-9 audits, and criminal prosecutions of employers, all designed to eliminate unauthorized workers from the U.S. workforce. In this environment, companies are grappling with urgent questions about how to protect their operations, workforce stability, and talent management strategies.
With criminal liability on the line, the stakes could not be higher for employers and their management teams. Our multidisciplinary government investigations team delivers the authoritative counsel and strategic advocacy essential to prepare for and defend against these critical enforcement actions that can include massive civil and criminal penalties and asset forfeitures. This team comprises attorneys and business professionals who specialize in immigration law together with former federal prosecutors, many of whom served as US Attorneys and Assistant US Attorneys, and understand how government agencies operate and approach prosecutions, settlements, and penalty negotiations. From decades of working with enforcement agencies including HSI, ICE, DOL, DOJ, DOS, and FBI, we maintain strong, credible relationships. This allows us to anticipate enforcement strategies and proactively develop comprehensive defense approaches, including I-9 audits, internal investigations, and developing operational strategies that protect both corporate and individual interests.
Global Mobility Program (All Non-Immigrant and Immigrant Visa Support)
Our team also partners with human resource teams to manage their global talent. We support the process of securing visas as well as the efficient onboarding, transferring, hiring, and retention of foreign workers. Working with US immigration offices throughout the United States, as well as US consulates and embassies around the world, we leverage relationships to strategically chart a course through the visa process. For immigrant employees, we quickly address individual questions and concerns so they can remain focused on being productive at work rather than worrying about immigration rules.
