Immigration and Nationality Services
The Immigration and Nationality Practice combines the legal talents of one of this country's most well-recognized teams of business immigration attorneys and paraprofessionals with cutting-edge, web-based technology to provide clients with extraordinary service and advice.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide clients with both the international resources of a top-tier law firm and the highly specialized competency of a dedicated immigration team. We offer clients the best of both worlds—international reach with a signature commitment to personal service and excellence.
Our collaborative relationship with other Morgan Lewis practices—including Employee Benefits, Tax, and Business and Finance Practices—delivers to our clients the benefits of integrated legal resources across a spectrum of legal specialties. It is this interdisciplinary perspective on corporate immigration matters that sets our service apart. We recognize and place a high value on the close connections between a multinational corporation's immigration program and its other essential operations, including its internal employment policies; corporate compliance and governance; and plans for expansion, corporate development, and growth.
