Fragomen is pleased to sponsor the South Asian Bar Association of North America (SABA North America) Annual Conference, a leading event that brings together South Asian legal community professionals from across the United States, Canada and beyond.

As part of the conference program, Shafiqa Kureshi, Senior Associate, will speak on the panel Unequal by Design: How Immigration Reforms Are Impacting South Asians and Marginalized Communities. This session explores the framework of U.S. and Canadian immigration systems and examines how policy shifts have negatively affected marginalized communities.

Several other Fragomen professionals are participating in the conference including Oishika Gupta, Partner; Shravanthi Suresh, Senior Associate; Parminder Sandhu, Senior Associate; Henna Pithia, Senior Associate; Arit Butani, Senior Associate; and Monica Bathija, Senior Associate.
