Sarah, partner in Fragomen’s Silicon Valley office, has cultivated a dynamic practice by guiding clients across a wide range of industries through every aspect of immigration law and global mobility, offering tailored solutions to meet their unique needs.

Her deep affinity for the immigration process in all its ornate detail ensures that the programs she designs and builds for her clients will be efficient; but her ability to apply a fresh lens to every stage of an existing immigration program offers even greater value to her clients. Sarah’s periodic and comprehensive examination of each step and sub-step in her clients’ process allows her to surgically target redundancies and inefficiencies that arise even in the most well-designed operational roadmap.

Clients depend on her to diagnose and defuse problems before they arise and to wring every advantage possible from what might otherwise become a complex and disordered process. Over time, Sarah’s clients enjoy the benefits of bespoke policies and programs that only become more efficient and effective.

Sarah’s longtime posting in Fragomen’s New York office and ongoing tenure in the firm’s Silicon Valley office earned her invaluable experience in the pre- and post-transaction strategy required by complex mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructurings. She also takes a client-specific approach to deal work, beginning with a well-developed general M&A roadmap and then tuning every aspect of the consultation, from fiscal analysis to communications strategy, to the needs of the particular client.

Sarah’s industry experience is wide-ranging; while many of her clients are in the technology industry, she has also represented companies in the IT consulting, retail, advertising and financial services sectors. She has also played a support role for the firm’s Japanese practice.

Sarah previously served as an Americorps VISTA paralegal at the Immigration Clinic of The Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago; immigration law allowed her to combine her commitment to supporting underserved communities with program development.
