What Erickson Immigration Group does

Erickson Immigration Group (EIG) is a privately held, Arlington-headquartered corporate immigration law firm founded in 1987, with its dedicated immigration practice launched in 1998. The firm serves multinational corporations, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses that require cross-border workforce immigration, providing visa petition filing (H-1B, L-1, O-1, employment-based green cards, PERM labor certification), citizenship and naturalization, immigration program management and compliance, and global mobility strategy. EIG operates six owned offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific — Washington DC (primary), San Francisco, Dublin, London (opened October 2025), Melbourne, and Singapore — supplemented by a Global Alliance of elite immigration partners in additional jurisdictions, with Erickson UK Limited registered as a wholly owned UK subsidiary (IAA registered F202432681).

The firm's core technology stack centers on immigration case management and client-facing digital platforms, including the 'EIG Aurora' client support system referenced across general inquiries, RFPs, and careers intake. EIG operates under a 'Perfect Plus' service model that pairs each client with a dedicated legal team and emphasizes clear communication, innovative technology, and high data security — the firm is certified to the EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks (effective November 2025). Marketing and thought leadership are driven by the Immigration Nerds podcast, news alerts, and active social media presence, positioning the firm as a knowledge authority in the corporate immigration category.

EIG is a private professional services partnership with no disclosed institutional investors or private equity backing. Revenue is generated through quote-based legal fees that vary by matter complexity, jurisdiction, and client scope, with services delivered directly to enterprise clients via dedicated legal teams. Leadership includes CEO Jerry Erickson, Partners Alejandra Zapatero, Hiba Mona Anver, and Naïanka Rigaud (promoted January 2026), with Katie McDermott serving as Managing Director of UK and Ireland operations following a February 2026 promotion. The firm has earned the Inc. Power Partner Award for Legal Services in three consecutive years (2023-2025) and was represented on the 2026 Lawdragon 100 Leading Immigration Lawyers guide.
