Jenny designs and implements customized, innovative immigration policies focused on compliance, streamlined case management and cost-effective strategies for managing large numbers of foreign national employees. Jenny is also the supervising partner of the firm’s Japanese practice and previously served on the New York office’s Management Committee.

Deemed a “process guru” by her clients, she is dedicated to maintaining the highest quality service while meeting the demands of ever-evolving challenges and expediting the ability to swiftly address their needs. She counsels a wide array of clients on global workforce mobility issues and immigration due diligence considerations related to mergers and acquisitions and other corporate restructurings. Her representations include industry-leading multinational corporations in the financial services, pharmaceutical, retail, technology, insurance and risk management and human resource consulting industries.

Relying on more than three decades of immigration experience—the majority of which has been with Fragomen—Jenny is a trusted partner for her long-term clients, frequently presenting to in-house legal and human resources personnel on nonimmigrant and immigrant employment-based matters and compliance. Her seasoned practice also allows her to champion any new clients, as Jenny is able to anticipate their needs in advance, providing thoughtful solutions to their most challenging objectives.

Jenny participated in the World Trade Center Pro Bono Project to assist family members of victims of 9/11. She also participated in the City Bar Justice Center clinic pro bono to assist Haitians applying for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work authorization following the earthquake in Haiti. Jenny worked pro bono with the Safe Passage Project to assist unaccompanied immigrant children in need of legal representation. She has also provided services to immigrant families at the detention center in Dilley, Texas and represents U visa applicants who were victims of physical or mental abuse. 

Jenny speaks English and Spanish.
