Bowditch & Dewey LLP introduces its employment related immigration practice

Did you know that MSI's Massachusetts law member Bowditch & Dewey LLP has an employment related immigration practice? Ariel Sullivan provides guidance for employers to successfully hire and retain foreign workers, including petitioning for visas on their behalf and ensuring ongoing compliance with work authorization regulations.

A particular area of concern for employers right now is that the government recently doubled the fines for Form I-9 violations, and thousands of new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been hired. This is going to result in a significant increase in ICE workplace inspections and monetary penalties. Should your client ever find itself responding to an ICE inspection, Ariel Sullivan can help. However, a proactive approach is to conduct an internal I-9 audit and provide training, and Ariel can do that for your clients or assist them with their own.
