Firm named Immigration Provider of the Year; honored for thought leadership
June 14, 2021 - Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services and member of the Am Law 100 and Am Law Global 100, won two Expatriate Management and Mobility Awards (EMMAs) at the Forum for Expatriate Management’s Americas Summit. The results were announced on June 10, the final day of the summit.
The firm was recognized as Immigration Provider of the Year and celebrated for its thought leadership in the Best Survey or Research Study of the Year category.
The EMMAs honor achievement and success in global mobility during the prior year, highlighting best practices from both corporate programs and supplier services. EMMAs are awarded for work conducted from and within the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions.
“It’s a great distinction to be named FEM Americas’ Immigration Provider of the Year,” said Fragomen Chairman Austin T. Fragomen, Jr. “In 2020, we worked diligently to provide stellar client service amid the unprecedented disruption of the pandemic. To be singled out by leaders in the global mobility space is always an honor, but it is especially inspiring this year.”
Fragomen’s Worldwide Immigration Trends Report earned the firm a win in the Thought Leadership – Best Survey or Research Study of the Year category. The Report won praise for offering much more than a summary of worldwide immigration statistics.
“We took a rigorous approach to identify deep themes and trends in the industry,” said Scott Leeb, Senior Director of Worldwide Knowledge Management at Fragomen. “The firm wanted the Report to inspire our clients’ decision-making by providing exceptional analysis in tumultuous times. We’re thrilled to have that unique effort commended by the mobility industry’s best and brightest.”
These honors are the latest in a series of recognitions for Fragomen by FEM, including multiple previous EMMA wins in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions.

In 2020 alone, the firm received multiple awards and recognition from diverse sources including The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal, The New Jersey Law Journal, Law360, and Who’s Who Legal.
