Berardi Immigration Law

What Berardi Immigration Law does

Berardi Immigration Law is a privately held, women-owned U.S. business immigration law firm founded in 2005 by Rosanna Berardi and headquartered in Buffalo, New York. The firm exclusively practices U.S. immigration law, serving corporate employers (Fortune 1000 companies, mid-market businesses, and small enterprises across engineering, IT, healthcare, entertainment, manufacturing, and sports) as well as individual professionals, entrepreneurs, and Canadian cross-border clients. The core service portfolio spans work visas across approximately 22 categories (including H-1B, L-1, O-1, E-1/E-2/E-3, TN, P-1, H-2A/B), employment-based permanent residency (EB-1, EB-2 NIW, PERM labor certification for EB-2/EB-3), and U.S. citizenship naturalization, complemented by corporate compliance modules (I-9 audits, policy development, training, M&A support) and a niche Canadian Snowbird registration compliance offering.

The firm operates through five offices in Buffalo, Newport Beach, New York, Toronto, and London, with no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on standard legal practice management tools (MyCase client portal, Calendly scheduling, Stripe payments) and is conducted via direct attorney consultations, in-person meetings, and representation at USCIS, CBP, and U.S. consulates. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a flat-fee pricing model with volume discounts for corporate clients, and all client relationships begin through scheduled consultations with specialized attorneys. The firm's underlying capabilities are grounded in the founder's prosecutorial background as a former INS Immigration Inspector and Assistant District Counsel, and the team's deep specialization across narrow visa categories, rather than in technology automation.

Direct peers

• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): Major corporate immigration law firm offering work visas, green cards, I-9 compliance and global mobility services to enterprise clients. Most direct functional peer in terms of service mix (employment-based visas + corporate compliance), with significantly larger scale and proprietary technology investments.
• Foster LLP: Houston-based U.S. immigration law firm focused on employment-based visas, green cards and global mobility for corporate and individual clients. Comparable exclusive-immigration focus and mid-market scale with similar cross-border caseload mix.
• Wolfsdorf Rosenthal: Specialized U.S. immigration law firm known for employment-based visas, EB-1 extraordinary ability cases and global mobility work. Comparable niche specialization and mid-market corporate clientele with similar attorney count.
• Vialto Partners: Global mobility and immigration services firm supporting multinational employers with cross-border work visas, green cards and immigration compliance. Comparable employment-based immigration focus with a more enterprise/global-mobility tilt and larger scale.
• Klasko Immigration Law Partners: Mid-sized U.S. business immigration law firm with strong focus on employment-based visas, EB-1/NIW green cards and corporate immigration compliance. Closely comparable in size, exclusive immigration focus and corporate client orientation.

Broad incumbents

• Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy: Largest global corporate immigration law firm with a deeply resourced immigration practice spanning all major visa categories and Fortune 500 clients.

• Greenberg Traurig: AmLaw 50 full-service firm with a large business immigration practice covering H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB-1/2/3 and corporate immigration compliance. Comparable corporate immigration capability as part of a much wider practice, often competing for the same Fortune 1000 RFPs.
• Ogletree Deakins: Large employment and labor law firm with a substantial immigration practice serving corporate employers on H-1B, L-1, PERM and I-9 compliance. Comparable corporate immigration services but embedded in a much broader employment-law portfolio.
• Jackson Lewis: National labor and employment law firm with a significant immigration practice group handling employment-based visas, green cards and I-9/E-Verify compliance for employers. Overlaps with Berardi on corporate immigration matters but competes from a much larger full-service base.
