Lisa leverages 29 years of corporate immigration experience to help some of the world’s most important companies evolve and enrich their businesses.

A Fragomen Global Partner, Lisa is the co-manager and co-visionary behind the firm’s Immigration Program Management Practice Group in the United States, which spearheads global strategic planning and management for approximately 1,000 multinational companies of every size and from every sector.

At first glance, Lisa’s practice involves the complex work of helping global clients move talent across the world—a mission that demands a capacious understanding of the regional immigration laws in countless jurisdictions. On a deeper level, she identifies the opportunities afforded to her clients by international immigration, opening up new perspectives on a variety of business issues including talent recruitment and retention, benchmarking, compliance, new technology, service and product rollouts, facilities planning and construction, workforce buildup and reduction, and M&A transactions.

Her thorough, in-the-grain understanding of her clients’ business is the natural complement to this vast knowledge of global immigration law. By immersing herself in her clients’ culture and operations, she can offer strategic advice about any business objective with an immigration component, no matter how many jurisdictions or workers are involved.

Lisa has a background in international trade law that has informed her practice as an immigration professional for her entire career. Lisa began her immigration career managing the global corporate immigration function of a Fortune 100 company, gaining a critical and direct understanding of her current corporate clients’ needs. At Fragomen alone, she’s worked as an attorney specializing in U.S. immigration and a global immigration program manager, designing and implementing immigration programs for numerous clients; co-developed and managed the firm’s Due Diligence and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act programs; established the firm’s Canadian office in Toronto; and served as Managing Partner of Fragomen’s Johannesburg and Nairobi offices. In this last capacity, she was responsible for leading the firm’s Sub-Saharan Africa practice.

Lisa has provided pro bono immigration services to the New York City Commission for the United Nations, Consular Corps and Protocol, Division for International Business. Lisa also participated as an immigration expert on a panel reviewing the visa regime for the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of South Africa. The panel was convened by the Minister to provide recommendations to overhaul of South Africa’s visa mechanisms and propose innovative ways to improve its adjudication processes.
