Eric S. Bord

Eric’s clients come from a variety of industries, including the energy, retail/eCommerce, financial, technology, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, and media sectors. Clients hire Eric to manage their global immigration programs or to partner with their in-house immigration teams. His area of focus covers the entire spectrum of business immigration, including all matters for temporary and permanent business, technical, scientific, and executive personnel as well as outbound/global visas.

Clients value Eric as an immigration lawyer in a full-service law firm, where his strategic guidance and experience are informed by his work with lawyers in other practices that intersect with immigration, such as labor and employment, international trade, benefits, tax, and mergers and acquisitions.

A frequent author and speaker on immigration topics, Eric also develops and conducts training programs for clients and human resources professionals on the PERM labor certification process, the US visa and immigration system, I-9 and immigration compliance, and immigration issues for in-house counsel, among other topics.

Eric’s legal practice has focused exclusively on immigration and nationality law since the early 1990s. Prior to attending law school, he was associate director of Latin American and Caribbean programs at The Carter Center. After graduating from law school in 1990, he was a full-time consultant to The Carter Center on initiatives to promote democracy, human rights, and development.
