I’m thrilled to announce that I have become a partner in Vialto Law (US) PLLC (Vialto Law) – a U.S.-based immigration law firm that opened its doors in March.  Operating independently, Vialto Law is associated with Vialto Partners, the world’s largest, freestanding global mobility company, focused on disrupting and transforming the global mobility ecosystem. Vialto Partners is home to over 7,000 dedicated immigration, tax, HR and technology professionals supporting multinational organizations and their cross-border employees.

My immigration career has taken many turns and forms over the years. I’ve been blessed with great clients and colleagues, whether in a small-firm setting, my own immigration boutique firm, or in three large full-service law firms.

I’m confident that Vialto Law, along with the incomparable resources of the powerhouse that is Vialto Partners, will be that guide. The name “Vialto” is derived from “via” (the road) and “alto” (signaling altitude). I think of my new journey as one dedicated to helping clients take the high road to global mobility.

All along, the U.S. immigration system has been and remains a source of challenge and frustration. Multiple federal immigration agencies, sometimes cooperating, but more often at cross purposes, have too often laid insurmountable obstacles in the path of businesses, employees and families. Always – yet never more than now – there has been the need for a trusted guide.

Please let me know how we can help.
