Uglobal Immigration Magazine recently published the Top 25 Global Migration Attorneys for 2022 and Fragomen is pleased to announce that Partners David Crawford and Nadine Goldfoot have been named to the list. To be eligible for this special recognition, attorneys must be primarily active in the investment migration space and experienced in filing a large volume of applications.

Read David and Nadine’s takes on the latest global migration industry trends below and view the full list of Top 25 Global Migration Attorneys here.

DAVID CRAWFORD

What new trends are you experiencing in the global migration industry?
On the demand side, I see an increasing and large appetite for people seeking a new country to offer themselves and their families a safe and prosperous home. The existing geo-political pressures combined with considerable wealth accumulation by younger and older people means that the demand is likely to increase. The challenge is that the supply side of passive investment options, if anything, is shrinking, but there will likely be an increase in solutions related to entrepreneurial activity. But it would be wrong to assume that one visa pathway is the only solution. This is a dynamic time in policy making and our role is to help people find solutions that meet their circumstances and needs.

NADINE GOLDFOOT

What new trends are you experiencing in the global migration industry?
As the instability and uncertainty of the world around us continues, the demand for RCBI solutions increases. However, the industry is at a crossroads with scrutiny and pressure from intragovernmental organizations, such as the EU, which are questioning the efficacy of programs. Governments who want to sustain or develop RCBI routes are going to have to consider alternative models deviating away from passive investment, to more active routes focusing on innovation and job creation. Digital nomad solutions may also play a valuable role here. Equally, critics of RCBI will need to be encouraged to see that genuine links can be achieved through sharing skills, talent and experience, and they don’t exclusively require physical presence.
