Who’s Who Legal Names Fragomen Corporate Immigration “Firm of the Year” for 10th Straight Year
September 17, 2017
For the 10th consecutive year, Who’s Who Legal has designated Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP the world’s leading firm in the field of corporate immigration. Fragomen has been named the top immigration firm every year that Who’s Who Legal has bestowed the award.
“Fragomen’s performance during the decade we’ve been analyzing it has been truly remarkable,” said Tom Barnes, Editor of Who’s Who Legal. “The firm’s combination of top-notch legal talent, extensive resources and international presence has made it the undisputed global leader in the immigration field.”
Who’s Who Legal bases its evaluation on an extensive six-month research process that includes gathering information from a variety of sources, including private practitioners, corporate general counsels and other experts in each particular sector. In addition to honoring law firms, the organization recognizes individual lawyers considered to be the preeminent practitioners in their respective practice areas. Currently, 36 Fragomen partners and professionals from eight countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America, Africa and North America have been recognized as leaders in the immigration field—almost three times the number found at any other immigration firm.
“We appreciate this honor and believe it’s representative of the depth of our devotion to the immigration field. We have made significant investments in knowledge, content, technology, training, and infrastructure, as well as in our continual expansion around the globe,,” said Austin Fragomen, chairman of the firm’s Executive Committee. “To earn this recognition as a firm is also a testament to the unwavering dedication to world-class client service demonstrated by our attorneys and staff. I congratulate each of them on this achievement!”
This year’s winners were formally announced at a black tie awards ceremony in New York on 31 March.
