A global economy requires a global business strategy, which can lead to moving your most important asset – your people – quickly and compliantly across borders.
Today there’s much more to a global mobility strategy than simply securing work visas and residency permits. Now, more than ever, something as simple as assuring unimpeded business travel requires a strategic approach to immigration. A deep understanding of pending immigration changes, border closures and reopenings, as well as political shifts across multiple countries and regions, is more important than ever.
As government tax and immigration authorities increasingly share information, it makes sense to work with an immigration services provider with extensive experience working in both areas. FSC has significant experience working with government entities as well as the technical experience and global reach to provides effective, integrated immigration and tax advice – helping to get your voice heard by policy makers.
Our global presence and knowledge of immigration laws, regulations and practices allow us to craft a customised service, enabling you to take control of immigration compliance and business strategy where you operate – or contemplate operating.
FSC's Immigration Team provides experienced, proactive counsel on all types of business immigration and certain individual and family matters, including visas, permanent residence, naturalization and guidance, as well as litigation and representation before regulatory agencies.
Our attorneys, some of whom have more than 20 years of experience in handling immigration matters, bring an insider's understanding of the immigration process from prior leadership positions within the various agencies that enforce immigration.
We understand that immigration issues are vital to companies that must bring talent to the county from foreign affiliates or fill positions that require special skill sets. Our immigration lawyers advise clients in securing waivers or achieving other mitigation when visas or travel requests are rejected by immigration officials.
While immigration laws have not changed much under the current administration, policies and enforcement priorities have. Generally, this has resulted in more delays, requests for additional documentation, and enforcement actions or investigations. Our lawyers represent clients in criminal and civil investigations, the mitigation of fines, Form I-9 guidance and audits, and every area of compliance and training.
We also train human resources departments and managers on compliance, creating policy manuals and implementing best practices. Our goal is to help clients achieve maximum compliance and to find efficient ways to address problems when they arise. Efforts to guide clients are informed by our attorneys' prior experience in government, where they enforced or shaped immigration policy.
