The immigration landscape is evolving fast, with new regulations, stepped-up enforcement, and greater scrutiny on employers. Staying compliant is more important than ever. Join Fisher Phillips attorneys, Geoff Forney and Marko Maglich, for a practical discussion on the latest business-critical immigration updates. They’ll break down the key changes, what they mean for employers and strategies to navigate compliance challenges with confidence.
What You’ll Learn:
H-1B Rule Changes – How the latest updates impact employers and what to expect from enforcement agencies;
FDNS Site Visits – How to prepare for unannounced fraud audits, even at remote work locations;
I-9 Audits – The biggest (and costliest) mistakes employers make and how to avoid them;
M&A Immigration Pitfalls – Key risks for corporate counsel in restructurings, contract drafting, and due diligence;
H-1B Denials & Agency Challenges – The latest trends in agency pushback and how to strengthen your petitions;
Litigation Options – When challenging the government in court makes sense and how to build a strong case.
This session is designed for in-house counsel and anyone responsible for immigration compliance in their organization. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s changing, how to prepare, and proactive steps to reduce risk. Don’t wait for until an audit or enforcement action catches you off guard – get ahead of the curve and ensure your organization is prepared.

Please join ACC Northeast & JAMS for a Lunch & Learn in their offices on May 8th.
Attendees will be provided with lunch while JAMS Neutral, Jonathan Fitch, along with Boston Consulting Group's (BCG's) Senior Legal Counsel, Lindsay Kosan, provide insiders' perspectives on the importance of contract drafting—specifically, key considerations for ADR clauses. Jonathan and Lindsay will review and discuss real-world scenarios that they have encountered as mediators, arbitrators, or litigators, where a well-drafted ADR clause made a difference, or where a poorly written one created challenges.
Open to 20 attendees, so register early in order to guarantee your spot.
Join ACC Western PA Chapter, the ACC New To In-House Network and Saul Ewing for a day at PNC Park! We’ll start off with a one-hour CLE program and then cheer on the Bucs from the World Series Suites.
