Transatlantic alliance for immigration specialists

Specialist Nottingham immigration firm, Paragon Law, has become the first Nottingham law firm to offer US immigration advice to UK businesses, with the creation of a formal association with Miami and Orlando based law firm, Nejame & Partners.

Thalej Vasishta, Managing Director of Paragon Law commented:

“We have seen a significant increase in enquiries about US immigration from both individuals and businesses, quite possibly as a consequence of the weak dollar and more recently a sharp fall in property prices in the US market which makes it an attractive place to retire or invest”. Mr Vasishta added: “Nejame & Partners were well known to me through family connections in the USA and our association gives Paragon Law a presence in the US market and US market and, through Nejame & Partners, means we can meet the growing demand from individuals or businesses wishing to locate to the USA”.

”The real benefit to our clients is that the relationship will remain with one of the solicitors in Nottingham who will act as the main point of contact and ensure that momentum is kept throughout the whole case”.

In order to enhance the service they provide, the transatlantic partners are installing state of the art video conferencing facilities so that face to face meetings can take place between clients and lawyers either in the USA or UK.

Mark Nejame commented “It was important for us to seek an association with the right firm in the UK. We are aware that Paragon Law has developed an enviable reputation in their area of practice in the UK and, unlike other immigration practices, seem to have balanced acting for individuals as well as being the preferred choice as counsel to large corporations in the UK. We are very similar and therefore with this similarity will come a good understanding which will ultimately benefit our mutual clients”.

Mark Nejame was recently included in the top 50 most influential individuals in Orlando in a list compiled by the Orlando Weekly. Other members of his immigration team include lead lawyer Dan Vera, who was formally the INS Lead Attorney and whose cases have included reuniting Elion Gonzalez, the Cuban boy found floating off the coast of Miami, with his father in 2000. The two are supported by Mayra Uribe-Sutton who has recently joined the Nejame team and was previously immigration advisor to Senator Bill Nelson’s office.
