Comprehensive Service
With capability in Atlanta, Boston, Brussels, and New York, our business immigration attorneys provide comprehensive business immigration services throughout the U.S. These include strategic planning and advice, case preparation, filing and monitoring, as well as development and implementation of corporate policies and training programs. Our expertise covers the breadth of the challenging regulatory landscape our clients face. These issues arise in the context of I-9 audits, sanctions proceedings, Department of Labor wage proceedings, discrimination claims based on alienage, and other related issues.
Advanced Technology
Clients enjoy browser-based, real-time access to the status of their business immigration cases on a round-the-clock basis through Seyfarth Shaw’s case management software ImmSTAR® powered by Tracker®. ImmSTAR® allows clients to obtain passwords and user logins for their personnel so that selected case information is available. ImmSTAR® also permits clients to access detailed case reports. The firm’s high-volume business immigration clients who subscribe to ImmSTAR® gain control over the otherwise hectic and frustrating task of managing business immigration cases.
We harness advanced document assembly technology to automate the production of case materials, using an extensive library of interactive templates that allows us to capture and manage not only the myriad agency rules and regulations in the business immigration arena but also the practical processing knowledge acquired by our professionals. Clients benefit from the resulting production efficiency, accelerated delivery, and enhanced quality of filings.
