DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Once again transforming legal technology, Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP (BAL) has created the industry's first multi-media platform, Advisor, dedicated to helping companies adapt to rapidly changing immigration rules.
With real-time analysis from former government officials and industry experts, Advisor helps companies understand changes in immigration law and navigate complex regulatory and compliance issues. Additionally, Advisor provides industry benchmarking, litigation updates, and resources on compliance obligations.
"There have been over 400 changes in U.S. immigration policy in less than four years," explains BAL Partner Lynden Melmed. "That will not slow down irrespective of who is president next year. Throw in litigation and increased government enforcement, and it can overwhelm any in-house program. We are thrilled to offer the industry's first digital platform to help our clients scale and meet those challenges."
Advisor is an extension of BAL's award-winning proprietary Cobalt® immigration case-management system and is continuously updated through input from BAL's 1,200 immigration and knowledge management experts. Available anytime, anywhere, on desktop, tablet or mobile phone, Advisor includes predictive-search, and an intuitive platform for hundreds of easy-to-understand articles, explainer videos and webinars.
"Foreign workers are understandably anxious, and every time the government changes the rules it creates new stresses for them and on in-house immigration programs," says BAL attorney Steve Plastrik, who helped create Advisor and previously worked for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, "Advisor will allow in-house immigration professionals and policy teams to better meet the needs of their leadership teams, business stakeholders, and of course the employees going through the immigration system."
"Advisor allows us to place our expert immigration knowledge directly in the hands of mobility professionals and the employees they support," says Katie Stone, Director of BAL's Knowledge Management team. Diem Ngo, Senior Manager of Knowledge adds, "We're delighted to be able to deliver our best-in-class knowledge library via an 'on demand' platform."
