Pearl Law Group is fortunate to be a founding member of the by-invitation-only Alliance of Business Immigration Lawyers (ABIL). Established in 2001, this extended legal team is comprised of over 40 top immigration law firms around the globe, with over 1,200 professionals (700 in the U.S. alone) devoted to consistently high standards of care and legal ability. We operate in 42 major cities throughout the world, providing the most comprehensive personalized coverage available. Founding members of this close-knit legal network include several past presidents of the 12,000-member American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), and many overseas members are equally prominent in their respective countries. This gives ABIL more immigration staff than any firm in the world, without losing the client accessibility and customer focus at the local level.
ABIL Global Location Map
With more than 1,200 immigration professionals, ABIL has the bargaining power to negotiate optimal in-country fees and service level standards with immigration and relocation service providers in all regions. Not the ordinary “strategic alliance,” ABIL members collaborate to ensure our clients and staff members get premier access to immigration updates and government liaison opportunities. These are some ways in which the ABIL legal team pools its resources better than most multi-office firms:
- We can get same-day benchmarking information on best compliance practices, as ABIL members together represent hundreds of leading companies
- Our list serve shares up-to-the-hour information from members consulting with the Departments of Homeland Security, Labor and State, and relevant government agencies in each country
- We conduct joint training sessions for each other’s firms, sometimes inviting clients
- We handle work for each other’s clients in our localities
