The Southeast is on the verge of significant future growth. In addition to being the principal business gateway to the Southeastern United States, Atlanta has grown into a thriving international city for companies doing business in the U.S. and around the world. In partnership with top educational institutions, many organizations are actively investing in developing the life sciences, manufacturing and technology industries. As a result, job-producing foreign investments in the Southeast are on the rise and more and more U.S. companies are expanding internationally. Certain industries in Atlanta—in particular, those with a significant technology component—tend to have higher numbers of foreign national employees. While a large number of these foreign nationals work with multinational companies, many are employed by local businesses as well.

With our leadership role in the immigration space, ongoing expansion, and wide-ranging U.S. and international capabilities, Fragomen in Atlanta is uniquely poised to help businesses navigate and manage their immigration opportunities and needs.
