Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP

Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP operates as a global law firm that concentrates its practice on immigration and nationality law, providing legal services to a diverse clientele. The firm assists corporations, academic institutions, healthcare providers, and individual clients with a broad range of immigration matters, including work visas, permanent residency applications, and citizenship petitions. Its service offering covers the preparation and filing of employment-based petitions such as H-1B, L-1, and O-1 visas, family-based applications, asylum and refugee claims, as well as ongoing compliance counseling related to Form I-9 verification and other federal employment eligibility requirements. Fragomen serves clients across multiple industry sectors, with particular engagement in technology companies seeking to transfer skilled workers internationally, financial institutions managing global mobility programs, manufacturing firms navigating supply chain labor needs, and universities sponsoring foreign scholars and students. In addition to corporate clients, the firm represents private individuals pursuing family reunification, humanitarian protection, or investment-based immigration pathways, tailoring its approach to the specific legal and procedural nuances of each case.

Fragomen maintains a network of offices in numerous countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, allowing it to coordinate immigration strategies for clients with operations in multiple jurisdictions. The firm employs a substantial number of attorneys, paralegals, and support staff who specialize in various aspects of immigration law, enabling it to handle high volumes of cases while maintaining specialized expertise. A distinguishing attribute of Fragomen is its combination of deep knowledge of U.S. immigration statutes and regulations with practical experience in the immigration systems of many other countries, which facilitates seamless cross-border case management. The firm regularly advises clients on compliance with federal employment verification obligations, including the proper completion and retention of Form I-9, a matter that came into public focus following the 2020 incident in which unauthorized access to a file containing I-9 related data for Google employees was detected. Structurally, Fragomen is organized as a limited liability partnership (LLP), a form commonly adopted by professional service firms that allows partners to share ownership and management responsibilities while limiting personal liability for the partnership's obligations.
