Immigration Strategies for Companies: Leading Lawyers on Hiring International Workers, Complying with Regulations, and Understanding Recent Trends and Developments (Inside the Minds) - Taschenbuch

Immigration Strategies for Companies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on key strategies for advising companies in hiring foreign workers and complying with immigration regulations. Featuring partners and chairs from law firms around the nation, these experts guide the reader through some of the intricacies of immigration regulations and discuss the key issues related to immigration that both large and small companies should be aware of in the current economic and regulatory environment. These top lawyers reveal their advice to companies on how to maximize their potential for success in hiring a foreign worker, including considering available visa options, gathering key information, and understanding the timelines related to employment-based immigration. From managing documentation and basic information for human resources departments to responding to potential enforcement actions, these authors offer compliance best practices to mitigate risk and avoid immigration violations. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating an increasingly-enforced and rapidly-changing area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
