History:
Founded in 1980, BAL has grown from a small immigration boutique to a global corporate immigration law firm providing representation to employers and their personnel in all regions of the United States and the world. We provide comprehensive global immigration services from offices in Austin, Boston, Dallas, Houston, McLean, Va., San Francisco and Washington D.C. Through our affiliated offices, Berry Appleman & Leiden Limited, Berry Appleman & Leiden Consultoria e Assessoria de Imigração Ltda., Berry Appleman & Leiden (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, Berry Appleman & Leiden Asia Pacific Pte Ltd and Berry Appleman & Leiden Pty Ltd, we provide regional migration management from Geneva, London, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Shanghai, Singapore and Sydney. BAL is an alliance of the best immigration minds and legal teams, working together to provide an unprecedented level of expertise and excellence within one firm.
From its original office in San Francisco, BAL quickly became known for the unparalleled quality of its legal work and its commitment to client service. In February 2007, the majority of the corporate immigration group of Jenkens & Gilchrist joined BAL, establishing a strong presence in Dallas and Houston. This merger added both highly qualified and experienced attorneys to BAL, and expanded the firm’s geographic reach. With the merger, BAL became the second largest law firm in the country specializing in immigration law.
BAL attorneys have extensive experience in the policy process, and have active, productive relationships with key Congressional committees and with decision-makers in the Department of Labor, the Department of State, and the Department of Homeland Security. Our leaders have been involved in the drafting and passage of every piece of business immigration legislation since the 1980s. BAL represents a wide range of companies, from some of the world’s largest corporations to small start-ups in emerging growth industries. Our firm includes the former General Counsel of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and two past presidents of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). |
