Navigating 2025 Immigration Law & Policy: New Developments and Best Practices
This presentation for paralegals will provide an overview of recent changes - and continuities - in immigration law and their practical impact on law firm clients across several practice areas. It will examine current immigration enforcement trends, identifying which clients are most at risk, the consequences of detention, and strategies lawyers can use to mitigate these risks for non-citizen clients. Finally, the session will cover best practices for effectively representing non-citizen clients in a rapidly evolving legal landscape, including thorough client screening, risk assessment, and spotting opportunities to support and protect clients' interests.
