Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology
Fragomen understands that a sense of mission motivates and animates our clients in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Their drive to transform lives through the power of science requires immigration programs that are almost invisible—well-tuned processes that run in the background, reducing unnecessary effort and saving time, attention, and energy for mission-critical activities.
We recognize that time is the most valuable commodity for our clients, so we’ve designed our processes and systems to integrate seamlessly with their relocation and tax providers.
Clients want the immigration process to be as free of redundancy as possible, and flexible enough to adapt to their ever-evolving needs.
Clients value us for our:
Deep Industry Background
Fragomen has been advising pharmaceutical and biotech companies for more than three decades. We’ve seen it all—from the early impact of globalization on both sectors, to their worldwide importance and influence today.
We understand why—and how—the fast, efficient, accurate, and safe travel of their teams became an integral part of business for our clients.
Sense of Scale
No other immigration company is better positioned to help clients move large groups of employees across jurisdictions as rapidly as possible. The strength of our technology, combined with our significant worldwide presence, allows us to process and execute large-scale moves quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
Travel Readiness
Alongside employee experience, speed-to-ground is the most important vector in immigration—it’s never been more important for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. And nothing hastens the immigration process more than travel readiness.
Our clients need their employee teams to move on a moment’s notice. We’ve created travel readiness programs that organize and store relevant travel information and documents, and we alert our clients in advance when information needs to be validated or renewed prior to travel. With current documents at the ready, unnecessary process pauses and obstacles that previously hobbled the lightning-fast decisions they need to make are a thing of the past.
Hard-Won Transactional Acumen
Spin-offs, restructurings, and divestitures are commonplace in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. We’ve worked on countless transactions and stand ready to make these often-disruptive events as easy to manage as they can be from an immigration standpoint.
Among other services, we help buyers, targets, and spin-offs keep their reinvented workforces compliant with local immigration policies, and help new companies get ahead of the curve by building comprehensive immigration programs that protect their employees before the deal is executed.
Respect for Employees
The brilliance of pharma/biotech professionals represents significant personal and corporate investment in their training, development, and success.
We understand how their importance to the health of the global economy presents unique opportunities for immigration as part of critical infrastructure provisions in jurisdictions worldwide. We explore every possible path to facilitate the immigration experience, allowing the client to focus on their important work.
Government Affairs Practice Capacity
From Washington, DC to centers of economic and government power around the world, Fragomen boasts an unmatched capacity for strategic government advisory services. When new policy developments arise in the 170+ jurisdictions we support, we’re plugged in to the latest information and ready to help clients prepare and adapt.
Customizable Service
Fragomen understands that every client has a signature communications style, and we pride ourselves on adapting to their processes and communications needs. We can structure your immigration program to feature high-touch, personalized service, or highly automated, technology-driven services that emphasize self-instruction and user independence. Or any imaginable hybrid of the two.
