The immigration landscape is evolving fast, with new regulations, stepped-up enforcement, and greater scrutiny on employers.  Staying compliant is more important than ever.  Join Fisher Phillips attorneys, Geoff Forney and Marko Maglich, for a practical discussion on the latest business-critical immigration updates.  They’ll break down the key changes, what they mean for employers and strategies to navigate compliance challenges with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

  • H-1B Rule Changes – How the latest updates impact employers and what to expect from enforcement agencies;
  • FDNS Site Visits – How to prepare for unannounced fraud audits, even at remote work locations;
  • I-9 Audits – The biggest (and costliest) mistakes employers make and how to avoid them;
  • M&A Immigration Pitfalls – Key risks for corporate counsel in restructurings, contract drafting, and due diligence;
  • H-1B Denials & Agency Challenges – The latest trends in agency pushback and how to strengthen your petitions;
  • Litigation Options – When challenging the government in court makes sense and how to build a strong case.

This session is designed for in-house counsel and anyone responsible for immigration compliance in their organization.  You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s changing, how to prepare, and proactive steps to reduce risk.  Don’t wait for until an audit or enforcement action catches you off guard – get ahead of the curve and ensure your organization is prepared.

Register below.  Participants will receive login credentials prior to the webinar.

CLE:  Fisher Phillips will seek CLE approval as allowed by those jurisdictions.  In certain instances, some programs may not be awarded CLE credit because of content, delivery, or jurisdictional restrictions.
