Pabian Law

What Pabian Law does

Pabian Law is a national immigration law firm headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts, founded in 2014 by Keith Pabian. The firm focuses exclusively on the hospitality industry, providing H-2B seasonal visa petition services to lodging operators, private clubs, ski resorts, and golf courses, and has grown to be one of the largest H-2B filers in the U.S. for these subsectors. The firm also handles year-round visas (TN, O-1, H-1B) and employment-based green card applications (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) for hospitality clients with permanent staffing needs.

The firm's technology differentiator is Pabian BOOM!, a proprietary H-2B case management software platform offered free to clients. The platform enables secure document upload, petition status tracking, deadline management, approval notice access, and a centralized document library, and is operated as a separate LLC entity (Pabian BOOM!, LLC). A second sister company, Seasonal Connect (SeasonalConnect, LLC), operates a global staffing platform that connects seasonal hospitality employers with international workers.

Pabian Law's go-to-market relies on a sales-led model reinforced by extensive content marketing: weekly YouTube videos, Town Hall webinars, an annual Staffing Summit conference, and frequent speaking engagements at hospitality industry events. The firm employs over 50 people distributed across more than a dozen U.S. states, and the named client base — including Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, The Westmoor Club, Wianno Club, Witham Family Hotels, and Mountain Shadows — is concentrated in the resort and private club segment of hospitality. Pabian Law is a privately held LLC with no disclosed external funding.

• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): BAL is a major global immigration law firm providing corporate immigration services to large employers.

• Ogletree Deakins: Ogletree Deakins is a large employment-focused law firm with a significant immigration practice. It is comparable to Pabian Law as both advise employers on work visas, I-9 compliance, and immigration-related employment matters, but Ogletree's practice spans all employer immigration rather than hospitality specifically.
• Fragomen: Fragomen is the world's largest corporate immigration law firm, serving multinational employers across all industries. It is comparable to Pabian Law because both operate immigration practices serving H-2B and other employer-sponsored visas, but Fragomen is much broader and not hospitality-specialized.
• Seyfarth Shaw: Seyfarth Shaw is a full-service employment and labor law firm with an immigration practice that advises employers on visa sponsorship and compliance. It is comparable to Pabian Law because both deliver employer immigration services, though Seyfarth's footprint is much broader than hospitality/H-2B.

Direct peers

• Wolfsdorf Rosenthal LLP: Wolfsdorf Rosenthal is a leading US immigration law firm handling employment-based visas and green cards. It is a direct peer to Pabian Law because both serve employer-sponsored immigration needs (H-1B, O-1, EB green cards) with proprietary client platforms, though Wolfsdorf is more general and less hospitality-verticalized.
• Foster LLP: Foster LLP is a US immigration law firm serving individuals and corporations on visa and green-card matters. It is comparable to Pabian Law because both operate dedicated immigration practices handling employment-based visas and seasonal worker petitions for employer clients.

Emerging players

• Hcareers: Hcareers is a hospitality-focused job board and talent platform connecting employers with hotel, resort, and restaurant workers. It is comparable to Pabian Law's sister company Seasonal Connect because both serve the same seasonal-hospitality employer demand for hiring international and domestic workers.
• Trusted Workers (Seasonal Staffing Solutions): Trusted Workers is a J-1 visa hospitality-exchange staffing platform that connects international workers with US seasonal employers. It is comparable to Seasonal Connect / Pabian Law because both serve the same niche of international seasonal hospitality staffing, including H-2B and exchange-visor pathways.
