As the world increasingly becomes globalized and businesses are integrated more closely than ever before, the U.S. Immigration laws have come under heightened scrutiny and focus, affecting virtually every company doing business in the U.S. In this connection, we provide guidance to our clients on a full range of issues affecting international businesses, such as advising multinational corporations and individuals doing business in a wide range of industries, including information technology, financial services, hospitality, entertainment and real estate.
