The Immigration Law Group of Meyner and Landis LLP is highly experienced in proactively advising new business entities and corporate restructures to consider the potential immigration consequences of various company structures at the outset. That way, our business immigration lawyers manage client expectations and ensure that the corporate client is in the best position to achieve its desired employment- and immigration-related goals.
