DALLAS, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL) LLP, the
world's preeminent corporate immigration firm, is pleased to
announce the promotions of Matthew
Gross and Mark Yelich to the
partnership.
"Matt and Mark exemplify the best of BAL, and we are excited to
welcome them to the partnership. Both have an unwavering desire and
commitment not only to our clients, and the service we provide
them, but to the continued success and growth of the firm, and our
people," said Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge. "Adding them to the
partnership ranks will make us stronger."
Matt is based in Dallas at
BAL's Center of Excellence. He focuses on business immigration
matters representing a broad spectrum of Fortune 500 companies,
major universities, investors and foreign nationals in a range of
industries, including healthcare, consumer goods and
technology. Matt was recently recognized in this year's
prestigious Legal 500 rankings for his expertise, where clients
lauded him as a "trusted advisor."
"What has always propelled us as the industry leader in our
field is our innovative spirit and approach," Matt said. "BAL is
always looking ahead. Yes, we solve the problems our clients are
dealing with today, but we are also anticipating challenges our
clients may face 5, 10, 20 years from now, and building products,
tools and solutions for that world. That's what sets us apart, and
I'm honored to help steer us in that journey."
Mark practices in the firm's Tysons, Va., office and represents
clients ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies in the IT,
retail, healthcare, medical research, engineering, transportation
and pharmaceutical industries. He provides his clients with
strategic guidance on immigration programs and policies, and is an
industry leader in guiding companies through internal
reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions. Mark is a frequent
speaker at national and international industry
conferences and is an active member of Croatian organizations
in the Washington, D.C., area and
across the country. "My parents are both immigrants, so I
understand both the technical and emotional components of
immigration," Mark said. "Our firm is not just in the business of
moving folks from point A to point B. Those are simply the
mechanics of immigration. We bring it all together. Not just with
our technology, tools, resources and subject-matter expertise, but
with our empathy, transparency and a fundamental understanding that
our clients' overall experience with our services should be second
to none. It's a banner I definitely look forward to carrying as a
partner."
