Product overview

Fragomen is an immigration law firm offering legal and consulting services rather than a software product company.

Additional service lines cover immigration compliance, analytics, training, government advisory, and crisis management.

No standalone software product is sold; all technology is embedded within or used to deliver legal and consulting services to clients.

Direct peers

• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): BAL is one of the largest corporate immigration law firms globally, with a similar employer-focused service model, proprietary case management technology, and a comparable Fortune-500 tech-client base. It is the closest direct competitor to Fragomen in immigration-only legal services.
• Ogletree Deakins: Ogletree Deakins operates one of the largest US employment-based immigration practices, serving multinational employers on visa processing, compliance, and global mobility — overlapping directly with Fragomen's corporate immigration practice.
• Jackson Lewis: Jackson Lewis is a major US employment law firm with a substantial immigration practice serving corporate clients on worksite enforcement, visa processing, and I-9 compliance — a comparable employer-focused immigration offering to Fragomen.
• Squire Patton Boggs: Squire Patton Boggs operates a global immigration practice within a broader international law firm, advising multinational employers on visa strategy, compliance, and global mobility — directly comparable to Fragomen's corporate immigration service line.

Broad incumbents

• Baker McKenzie: Baker McKenzie is one of the world's largest global law firms with a substantial immigration and global mobility practice. As a broad incumbent, it competes with Fragomen on multi-jurisdiction corporate immigration work but offers immigration as part of a wider legal services portfolio.
• KPMG (Global Mobility Services): KPMG's Global Mobility Services practice advises multinational employers on immigration, tax, and cross-border assignments — overlapping with Fragomen's advisory work as part of a broader consulting and audit portfolio.
• Deloitte (Immigration Services): Deloitte operates a significant immigration and global mobility advisory practice serving multinational employers, overlapping with Fragomen's enterprise client base but delivered through Deloitte's broader consulting platform.

Emerging players

• Envoy Global: Envoy Global is an immigration technology platform that combines software with legal services for corporate immigration management. It competes with Fragomen's tech-enabled offering by offering a more productized, software-led alternative for employer immigration programs.
• Deel: Deel is a fast-scaling global EOR and contractor management platform increasingly building in-house immigration capabilities for employer clients. Its employer-facing distribution and embedded immigration workflows position it as a structural competitor to Fragomen's advisor layer.
• Papaya Global: Papaya Global is a workforce management and global payroll platform that has entered a strategic partnership with Fragomen to deliver integrated global mobility. As a partner and emerging competitor, Papaya represents both a distribution channel and a potential disintermediation threat to traditional immigration legal services.
