Lisa Atkins

Lisa’s global immigration work includes securing employment visas, work permits, residence permits, and business visas for key personnel, as well as advising on right-to-work compliance across jurisdictions. Her U.S. immigration practice encompasses nonimmigrant work visas (H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1), PERM labor certifications, immigrant petitions, and adjustment of status. She also counsels employers on corporate immigration compliance, including I-9 verification and responding to government audits.

Lisa represents clients across diverse industries, including information technology, financial services, manufacturing, and automotive. She is recognized for developing tailored global mobility strategies — from “parking” and short-term assignments to long-term relocations — that align with business objectives. She has assisted numerous organizations in creating immigration training programs, global best practices, and compliance protocols.

Before joining Clark Hill, Lisa practiced at leading international and boutique immigration law firms, advising multinational corporations, startups, and high-net-worth individuals on complex immigration challenges.
