San Francisco, January 22, 2009 – Leading global corporate immigration law firm, Berry Appleman & Leiden, and the renowned corporate immigration practice group of Paul Hastings are joining forces on February 17, 2009, to form BAL Global Corporate Immigration.
BAL Global will be an alliance of the best immigration minds and legal teams, working together in the United States and abroad to provide an unprecedented level of expertise and excellence within one firm, including:
- Decades of exceptional thought leadership in corporate immigration law and compliance
- Innovative legislative and government relations solutions to the most complex immigration problems
- Total program management that quickly maps the best path through the complicated maze of immigration policy and law, including:
- An electronic I-9 and E-verify corporate solution
- A state-of-the-art, web-accessed proprietary database
Among those leaving Paul Hastings to form BAL Global will be: Daryl R. Buffenstein, Deborah Marlowe, Kyle Sherman and Bo Cooper, former General Counsel of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Key partners of BAL Global will include past national presidents of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), and a past executive director of that association. Attorneys will include former leaders of immigration agencies and AILA chapters from across the country.
Supporting this leadership team will be BAL Global's more than 325 professionals working from offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, New York, McLean, Va., San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Additional on-site BAL Global regional coordinators in Amsterdam and Hong Kong will ensure BAL Global's physical presence and time zone availability to its clients the world over.
The creation of BAL Global, with its breadth and depth of services, comes at a propitious time for current and future clients. Companies today are faced with an ever-increasing barrage of immigration regulations that have increased exponentially in the era of homeland security.
The days of employers simply hiring a law firm to file visa applications are over. Companies need their own full-service immigration watchdog with the ability to centralize and monitor the movement and visa status of all worldwide employees in one database. BAL Global will be that trusted partner.
