Immigration

Seyfarth Shaw’s Immigration Group—a 50-member team located in Atlanta, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Europe—includes four partners, each with more than two decades experience in the business immigration field. We count among our team members high-profile, national immigration thought leaders; technology savvy partners who invest significant time and resources developing sophisticated work production systems and databases that deliver superior immigration management programs to our clients; as well as partners with deep involvement in the American Immigration Lawyers Association and other immigration-centric organizations.

We provide comprehensive business immigration services throughout the U.S. and globally, including strategic planning and advice, case preparation, filing and monitoring, as well as development and implementation of corporate policies and training programs. Through the Seyfarth Shaw Workforce Authorization Team (SWATeam) we cover the challenging regulatory landscape our clients face in terms of I-9 audits, work site raids, E-Verify questions, state-level immigration rules, and related issues.

Our group has during the last decade harnessed the power of document assembly technology and during the last four years embraced a Lean Six Sigma-based re-engineering of our major product lines, with the result that we deliver high-touch, high-quality immigration services at extremely competitive costs. To our knowledge, this is a singular accomplishment—no competitor with our band-width has married such substantive expertise with such rigorously maintained and intelligent process methodology.

Our 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^® also allows for on-line case initiation and data gathering, thereby providing a seamless and efficient process for client personnel that eliminates data redundancy.

Our professionals work closely with clients on the front-end to develop and deploy innovative business immigration management programs to ensure that client objectives are met on time and under budget. Due to our aggressive use of case management, our document assembly and case delivery technologies, our intelligent staffing philosophy, and our experience in managing visa processes and projecting and budgeting costs, our clients experience a smoothly functioning, well-managed work permit program at competitive cost.
