AMSTERDAM – 23 September, 2024 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, announces that Carter Bovard has joined as Partner in its Amsterdam office.

Bovard, who previously worked at Fragomen for nearly a decade, returns to the firm with extensive global mobility and immigration experience in managing complex, multinational client engagements across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe.

I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued growth and supporting our clients as they contend with a myriad of global mobility challenges to help ensure their success.”
