Attorneys tasked with managing international mergers and acquisition (M&A) deals are faced with a myriad of challenges, involving company finances, management principles, foreign regulations and cultural differences. These roadblocks, while complex, are quite typical to the trade, and are inevitably confronted in any foreign joint venture. However, companies and their attorneys often overlook existing immigration laws that may impact a specific deal, creating unnecessary delays and perhaps weakening the value of the transaction.

Further complicating the matter, the current legislative climate regarding immigration has prompted business leaders to remain hypervigilant, monitoring the status of critical visa programs in the United States. Now more than ever, it has become increasingly necessary for practitioners to adjust their thinking when it comes to international M&A deals, tackling any immigration challenges earlier in the process.
