I devote a substantial portion of my practice to counseling clients on immigration and employment issues. On the immigration side, I have extensive experience helping employers obtain H-1B and E visas on behalf of foreign workers employed in specialty occupations. That experience includes helping U.S.-based companies with global operations obtain L-1 visas on behalf of their foreign-based employees so that the employees can transfer to the United States, as well as helping those companies obtain visas in China andMexico on behalf of their U.S.-based employees. I also help foreign workers obtain permanent residency based on their employment in the U.S. In addition to helping employers obtain visas for foreign workers, I routinely conducts audits for clients to ensure they comply with the requirements for verifying their employees’ eligibility to work in theUnited States(I-9 compliance).
On the labor and employment side, I assit corporate clients in drafting and implementing workplace policies and procedures (including employee handbooks, sexual harassment policies, and employment eligibility policies). I also have extensive experience drafting and litigating employment agreements and litigating discrimination and other employment matters.
Before joining Shumaker in 2004, I practiced with two large statewide firms handling complex commercial litigation matters. I have continued to handle complex commercial matters, such as labor and employment, intellectual property, and copyright and trademark in state and federal courts throughout Florida while at Shumaker.
