About Baker & McKenzie LLP
Baker & McKenzie's US immigration practice includes leaders in immigration policy working with a network of over 150 immigration professionals in 40 countries, including the firm's newest offices in Istanbul, Casablanca and Johannesburg. The US immigration team works collaboratively with its labor and employment, compensation and benefits and tax law counterparts to address immigration issues holistically.

With an unparalleled platform in corporate compliance, Baker & McKenzie is one of the few immigration providers that can effectively assess high-impact risk issues surrounding the movement of employees across borders, such as certification of compliance with worksite, visa and residency mandates, management of third-party supplier visa compliance, data privacy and cyber security, export controls, and immigration benefits policies.
Event Synopsis:
Immigration reform, either comprehensive or partial, seems highly likely within the next year or two. While the House is expected to introduce various new bills leaving the final details uncertain, employers should never-the-less be informed in order to better prepare for the inevitable outcome of this legislation and its consequences on their business.
A panel of thought leaders and practitioners will discuss the fundamentals and provide updates with respect to Immigration Reform. The presentation will be aired in a live two-hour webcast.
The faculty will discuss the following topics:
• Senate Bill 744 & Comprehensive Immigration Reform: An Overview
• Increased Allotment of H-1B Visas
• Mandatory E-Verify
• Work Authorization for Spouses of H-1B Employees
• Path to Permanent Residency (i.e., the Green Card)
• Other Provisions in S.B. 744
• Other Issues and Potential Impact on Companies
• Guidelines and Best Practices
• Latest regulatory updates
