Fragomen was recognized at the FACC (French-American Chamber of Commerce) Midwest Chicago Gala & Business Awards for "Best Business Development: US Company Expanding in France," which took place in Chicago on May 15, 2025. Senior Associate Nancy Nemeth accepted the award on behalf of Fragomen.

Fragomen actively fosters economic and cultural ties between France and the United States through its dedicated Paris office, which provides comprehensive immigration legal services to both individuals and businesses. This office supports French companies expanding into the US and American firms establishing operations in France, facilitating cross-border mobility and compliance with local immigration and labor laws.

Beyond client services, Fragomen contributes to the broader transatlantic dialogue on immigration and mobility through thought leadership. The firm's Center for Strategy and Applied Insights develops forward-thinking immigration strategies and advises on policy developments, offering insights that benefit stakeholders on both sides of the Atlantic.

About FACC and the Annual Gala
