Laura Devine will be speaking on Crimmigration: the intersection of criminal and immigration law on Tuesday 1 November at 9.30am.
In many countries, natives and immigrants are punished differently under the law. In addition to paying fines and facing incarceration, some non-citizens also face additional immigration penalties for violating laws and some countries have made violating immigration law itself a criminal act. Additionally, some countries offer crime victims and witnesses visa benefits. This panel will discuss these topics as well as the overall collaboration between immigration and criminal lawyers as they seek to represent their mutual clients.
Jennifer Stevens will be speaking on Practice management and immigration law – getting up to speed on Wednesday 2 November at 9.30am.
Immigration lawyers from around the world talk about their best practices for managing their practices including the best use of technology, managing your teams, marketing your firms and staying on top of your finances.
