Lisa Atkins

Her practice is centered on global immigration solutions, including securing employment visas, work permits, residence permits, and business visas worldwide. Lisa regularly advises on right-to-work requirements, jurisdiction-specific compliance obligations, and risk mitigation strategies, ensuring companies can deploy talent efficiently in multiple countries. She works closely with clients to design and implement mobility frameworks that support both short-term assignments and long-term international placements.

In addition to her global focus, Lisa maintains a strong U.S. immigration practice, supporting employment-based matters such as nonimmigrant work visas, permanent residence processes, and corporate compliance. She integrates U.S. requirements into broader global mobility strategies, providing clients with a cohesive, end-to-end approach.

Lisa represents organizations across industries including technology, financial services, manufacturing, and automotive. She is known for developing tailored global mobility programs—ranging from interim “parking” solutions to large-scale relocations—that align with business objectives and workforce planning needs. She also partners with companies to establish internal immigration policies, training programs, and global best practices.

Prior to joining Clark Hill, Lisa practiced at leading international and boutique immigration law firms, where she advised multinational corporations, startups, and high-net-worth individuals on complex, multi-jurisdictional immigration matters.
