Fragomen Opens New Salt Lake City Office

We are excited to announce the opening of our Salt Lake City office.

“Salt Lake City is the center of exciting economic growth and technological innovation,” said Fragomen Chairman Austin T. Fragomen, Jr. “We’re excited to offer truly local support to our clients and expand our first-class immigration services throughout the Rocky Mountain region.”

“Fragomen has long represented a dynamic clientele in the region, from established industry players to cutting-edge startups,” he continued. “The new office, built around our firm’s state-of-the-art technology, will provide the same first-rate lawyering they have come to expect.”

The new office will be helmed by Rebecca van Uitert, a Fragomen partner who boasts a breadth of diversified experience, including more than a decade as an immigration lawyer, deep managerial experience, and lifelong ties to the Salt Lake City region.

Rebecca joins Fragomen from her former position as Vice President, Human Resources at AgReserves. Previously, she served as Dean of Career Services at the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. A Fragomen lawyer by training, she worked for eleven years as a senior associate in the firm’s Chicago and New York City offices.

“I’m thrilled to be returning to Fragomen, and excited to lead its new office in a city that I consider my home,” said Rebecca. “Our Salt Lake City team is primed to deliver exceptional service throughout the region.”

While her personal and professional ties to the Salt Lake City region are an obvious asset to the firm’s clients, they also enrich the community as a whole.

“Throughout her career, Rebecca has used her intelligence, experience, and creativity to help others,” said Fragomen partner Joseph Paldino. “As a Fragomen senior associate in Chicago, she kick-started the firm’s efforts on behalf of asylum-seeking immigrant mothers and children during the 2014 Southern border crisis. We’re proud to welcome a lawyer of her character and caliber back to the firm. I look forward to partnering with her to make the Salt Lake City office a success.”

The new office will be established in concert with SimpleCitizen, a subsidiary of Fragomen Technologies and a dynamic provider of immigration technology solutions.
