Broad incumbents

• Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy: The largest global corporate immigration law firm with thousands of attorneys worldwide. Overlaps with Wilner & O'Reilly on H-1B, L-1, O-1, PERM, and EB-1 work but serves primarily enterprise/corporate clients across all US geographies, whereas W&O focuses on individuals and mid-market in the Western US.
• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): Major corporate immigration firm combining legal services with proprietary technology (Cobalt). Competes with W&O for employer-sponsored visas and green cards, particularly for tech and corporate clients, while also serving individual markets through affiliated practices.
• Ogletree Deakins: National employment law firm with a substantial immigration practice across all 50 states. Overlaps with W&O on employment-based immigration, I-9 compliance, and employer-sponsored petitions, with broader geographic reach and a larger corporate client base.
• Jackson Lewis: Large national labor and employment law firm with a dedicated immigration practice group. Overlaps with W&O on employer-sponsored visas and compliance work, while serving a broader employment-law portfolio for HR and corporate clients.
• Fisher Phillips: National labor and employment law firm with a significant immigration practice serving corporate clients across the US. Comparable to W&O on employment-based immigration matters, particularly for HR-driven sponsorships and I-9 issues.

Emerging players

• Boundless: Tech-enabled immigration platform offering flat-fee green card, citizenship, and family-based visa services. Not a law firm, but a direct competitive threat to Wilner & O'Reilly's individual/SMB immigration practice through lower pricing and streamlined digital experience.

Direct peers

• Davies & Associates: Full-service immigration law firm with offices in multiple US states and abroad, handling family-based, employment-based, and investor immigration. Direct competitor to Wilner & O'Reilly in the mid-market individual and family immigration space with similar multi-office strategy.
• Klasko Immigration Law Partners: Specialist immigration law firm handling employment-based visas, EB-1/NIW, and corporate immigration matters. Direct competitor to Wilner & O'Reilly in the extraordinary-ability and skilled-worker immigration space, with comparable attorney-led boutique positioning.
• Siskind Susser (visalawyerblog): Tennessee-based boutique immigration firm with a widely followed blog covering H-1B, PERM, and family-based immigration. Closely comparable to W&O as a content-driven immigration-only firm, though operating primarily in the Southeast US rather than the Western US.
• Wolfsdorf Rosenthal (WR Immigration): Boutique immigration law firm with a strong reputation in complex family-based, employment-based, and EB-5 cases. Closely comparable to Wilner & O'Reilly in being a focused immigration-only firm serving high-net-worth and professional clients, though primarily based on the East Coast.
