WARSAW, POLAND – 8 September 2025 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, announces the addition of Partner Karolina Schiffter to its Poland practice and the opening of new offices in Wrocław and Gdańsk. This expansion complements the firm’s previously announced offices in Warsaw and Kraków, reflecting Fragomen’s continued investment in key European markets.

Her achievements include being named among ForbesWomen’s 25 Most Outstanding Female Lawyers in Business 2023 and recognition from the Women in Law Foundation.

“Joining Fragomen gives me the opportunity to contribute to the firm’s growth across Poland and help clients navigate an increasingly complex immigration landscape. I look forward to working closely with the team to deliver practical solutions that support both multinational businesses and their employees, ensuring mobility and compliance remain seamless across the region,” said Schiffter.

“Fragomen continues to align its global capabilities with the evolving needs of clients across Europe,” said Lance Kaplan, Co-Chair. “Expanding our presence in Poland strengthens our ability to provide consistent and practical immigration support for businesses operating in the region.”

“Karolina brings a unique perspective on managing complex immigration matters in Europe, and her experience will be invaluable in helping our clients address both strategic planning and operational mobility challenges,” said George Koureas, Managing Partner, Europe.
