Fragomen, the world’s leading immigration service provider exclusively devoted to immigration, has further expanded its global presence with the opening of a new office in Nairobi, Kenya.
“As is the case with our new office in Kenya, Fragomen has long been committed to providing on-the-ground service in key international markets that best support our clients’ business goals,” said Austin T. Fragomen, Chairman of the firm’s Executive Committee. “Since opening our first international office in Brussels, we have steadily increased our international reach based on our clients’ needs, and now serve clients in major markets throughout Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East."
The Kenya office opened on June 1, 2014 and is led by a strong team of experienced immigration professionals. As in all Fragomen offices, the Nairobi-based team is focused on providing high quality, cost-effective and personalized immigration services to our clients in Kenya and across Africa.
“We opened the office in Kenya for many reasons, most significantly to support our clients already in the region and those adding this important location to their international footprint,” said Pauline Mathewson, EMEA Managing Partner. “Following our soft opening in June, our local team is now fully integrated into Fragomen's robust immigration solutions and many of our worldwide clients are already enjoying on-the-ground services from Nairobi.”
