AILA: Bridging the Gap for Employment-Based Practitioners

Join BAL’s Marty Robles-Avila at AILA’s “Bridging the Gap for Employment-Based Practitioners” seminar. Designed for business immigration attorneys, this intermediate-to-advanced session will address challenges involving clients with humanitarian or enforcement backgrounds, including removal and inadmissibility risks, criminal history, and status issues. The panel will discuss the February 2025 notice to appear memorandum, best practices for advising employers, and when to collaborate with removal defense counsel. Attendees will learn about regulatory distinctions between employment-based and family-based cases, supporting workers with DACA, TPS, asylum, or removal histories, as well as ethical considerations related to dual representation and fees.
