Austin - The Austin office of global law firm K&L Gates LLP welcomes Brian Graham as a partner in its labor, employment & workplace safety practice and Global Employer Solutions offering.

Board certified in immigration & nationality law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Graham has extensive experience in corporate immigration and investment-based immigration for high net worth immigrants. He works with lawyers in the labor & employment, tax, estate planning, securities, and corporate law areas to develop comprehensive strategies for clients.

“We are delighted Brian has joined the firm,” said Jack Erskine, administrative partner of K&L Gates’ Austin office. “His addition allows us to provide significant immigration capabilities for our clients, including technology and energy companies as well as high net worth individuals seeking to invest in the United States, and adds another important dimension to our Global Employer Solutions team.”
