What Siskind Susser does

Siskind Susser PC is a full-service immigration law firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The firm provides legal services across nine practice areas covering the full spectrum of US immigration and nationality law: Business, Healthcare, Family, Global Mobility, Humanitarian, I-9 Employer Compliance, Startups & Entrepreneurs, Students & Universities, and Arts/Entertainment/Sports. Its client base spans Fortune 500 corporations, major hospital systems and academic medical centers, universities, startups, arts and entertainment productions, and individuals, with healthcare immigration explicitly described as one of the country's largest such practices. The firm operates through seven partners, five attorneys, 20+ paralegals, and additional staff, delivering services via phone, video, and in-person consultations with a flat-fee pricing model across most engagements. Technology infrastructure includes Acuity Scheduling for appointment booking, Gravity Legal for payments, and proprietary case management systems. The firm is majority women-owned, WBENC certified, and publishes seven immigration law books alongside a monthly Siskind's Immigration Bulletin, positioning thought leadership as a primary demand-generation channel.

Beyond core legal services, Siskind Susser has built an adjacent technology and litigation ecosystem through three wholly-owned spinoff entities established in 2019-2020: Visalaw Ventures (immigration news and information platform), Visalaw.AI (AI-powered immigration technology tools), and IMMPact Litigation (federal immigration litigation for mass cases against government agencies). The firm maintains partnerships with the ABIL Global Alliance for international immigration matters and holds leadership positions in AILA and NAFSA. Customer acquisition relies on content marketing (books, blog, bulletin, library), conference speaking, professional association participation, and direct consultation booking. Federal litigation capabilities extend the firm beyond standard petition work into challenges against agency delays and unlawful actions, creating a defensive service layer for clients facing government inaction.

Direct peers

• Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy: Largest global immigration law firm with deep US practice across employment-based visas, green cards, and compliance — the most direct competitor for Siskind Susser's core business immigration work, with comparable (though much larger) global mobility capability.
• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): Major US immigration law firm with a strong technology platform (Cobalt) and similar corporate immigration practice across H-1B, L-1, and PERM — competes head-to-head with Siskind Susser on employer-side work and tech-enabled delivery.
• Klasko Immigration Law Partners: Mid-sized immigration boutique with comparable EB-1, NIW, and healthcare immigration focus and similar thought-leadership profile — directly comparable in scale, practice mix, and niche specialization.
• Wolfsdorf Rosenthal / WR Immigration: Boutique immigration firm known for high-end employment-based and consular practice, comparable in scale to Siskind Susser and a peer in the upper-tier immigration specialty market.
• Foster LLP: Houston-based immigration boutique with global mobility, business immigration, and consular practice — comparable in size and specialty orientation to Siskind Susser.
• Cyrus D. Mehta & Associates: New York-based immigration boutique known for thought leadership in business immigration and compliance — directly comparable niche specialist with similar content-driven brand.

Broad incumbents

• Ogletree Deakins: Large AmLaw employment law firm with a sizable immigration practice serving enterprise clients — broader incumbent with overlapping corporate immigration capability but not immigration-only.
• KPMG US Immigration Practice: Big Four immigration advisory serving multinational employers — competes on enterprise immigration compliance and global mobility with a consulting-led delivery model rather than law firm model.

Emerging players

• Envoy Global: Tech-enabled immigration and global mobility platform combining attorney services with software — partial overlap on corporate immigration with a different delivery model, representing a tech-forward competitive vector.

Others

• American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA): Professional association of immigration attorneys where Siskind Susser partners hold leadership positions and publish manuals — not a competitor but the principal industry body shaping the practice area.
