Law Firms Expand Scope of Immigration Expertise Amid Blitz of Trump Orders

Several law firms are ramping up their immigration law expertise and expanding their scope, pulling together practices and resources across the firm to help clients navigate a flurry of new orders under the new Trump administration.

Amid confusion and uncertainty related to Trump’s orders over the border, visas and birthright citizenship, law firm partners say they’re seeing a spike in inquiries from corporate clients. The inquiries are hitting even those law firms that don’t offer immigration law as a core service, but firms are seizing on the opportunities to become more indispensable to key clients.
