With more than 25 years of experience in immigration law, Nadine has earned the trust of companies of every size and type, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large multinational Fortune 500 companies.
Today, she engages with emerging clients in the technology, artificial intelligence, pharmaceutical, insurance, retail, real estate and medical product industries that are ready to take the next step in growth—and require immigration policies and programs that will scale with them.
She approaches each new client with a practical, hands-on approach. Relying on a team of professionals, many of whom have been working with her for decades, she forges a deep partnership with her client’s internal teams.
