CORK, IRELAND – 5 June 2025 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, has opened a second office in Ireland further expanding its footprint across the country to better serve clients in the southern and western regions of the country. The new office in Cork enables Fragomen to offer enhanced, locally informed support to clients across the southern and western regions, where demand for global mobility services is flourishing.   

Cork continues to emerge as a thriving hub for business and innovation. Its dynamic ecosystem, from life sciences and technology to financial services and cybersecurity, combined with strong international connectivity and a strong talent pool, makes the city an increasingly strategic location for both domestic and multinational companies.  

Fragomen’s second Irish office will be led by Practice Leader Claire Cumiskey and supported by Ireland Managing Partner Ángel Bello-Cortés, working closely with the firm’s leadership to deliver integrated, high-quality support across Ireland. 

“Cork offers a unique combination of a business-friendly environment and a highly skilled workforce,” said Bello-Cortés. “As companies increasingly look to expand beyond traditional hubs, Cork’s strategic location and dynamic sectors make it an ideal base for driving international growth and fostering innovation.”  

“This move is part of Fragomen’s strategy to expand in critical regional hubs where global mobility and local insights intersect. With a stronger presence in Cork, the firm is poised to deliver even more targeted and responsive support for clients navigating increasingly complex international mobility needs,” noted George Koureas, Managing Partner, Europe.   

“This region boasts exceptional talent, and positioning a team in Cork underscores our commitment to investing in people and delivering best-in-class service,” added Cumiskey. “We look forward to building deeper partnerships with clients and the local community as we continue to expand our footprint.”
