Technology Company Faces Immigration Issues During Acquisition

North America - United States | North America | United States - Indiana

A technology company completed an asset purchase deal involving employee transition, and our firm provided targeted advice on the immigration consequences of the acquisition.

The company faced a number of immigration issues during the acquisition, including: what compliance filings are required for the target’s H-1B employees who will join the company? What obligations does the company have with respect to any work visa-holding employees who are not asked to join the company? Do we know how this deal will impact any ongoing green card applications?

Our immigration team collaborated with the due diligence team to ensure the seamless delivery of guidance on handling both the immigration consequences of the deal as well as the related Form I-9 issues involved.
