Ogletree Deakins Expands West Coast Immigration Presence
Ogletree Deakins, one of the largest employment and business immigration law firms in the United States, welcomes Claudia Martorell and Amanda Mullane as shareholders in the firm’s San Diego office. Claudia and Amanda’s practices are focused on employment-based immigration in the technology and bioscience sectors, including the energy, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries. Both join Ogletree Deakins from Larrabee Albi Coker, LLP, where they were partners.
Claudia has represented and advised clients on employment-based immigration matters for more than 15 years with experience in nonimmigrant visas, immigrant visa matters covering all aspects of the permanent residency process, extraordinary ability filings, outstanding researchers, multinational executives/managers classification, and national interest waivers. She also advises on I-9 compliance issues. Claudia earned her J.D. from the University of San Diego and her B.A. from the University of California, San Diego.
Amanda has provided comprehensive representation for clients in all areas of employment-based immigration for over 15 years, including temporary visas, employment-based permanent residency options to include labor certification, multinational executive/manager classification, extraordinary ability filings, outstanding researchers, and national interest waivers. She also routinely advises clients on various compliance issues, including I-9, E-Verify, and Public Access File regulatory requirements. Amanda earned her J.D., cum laude, from California Western School of Law and her B.S. from the University of Arizona.
Claudia and Amanda are both active members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and Lawyers Club of San Diego. Claudia currently serves as Chair of the AILA San Diego Chapter U.S. Consulate General Committee.
“The needs from employer community related to the interplay of business immigration, global mobility, and related employment law issues continue to grow in complexity,” said Jacky Maroney, co-chair of Ogletree Deakins’ Immigration Practice Group. “Ogletree Deakins offering legal services in immigration-adjacent areas is attractive to employers and talented attorneys alike. The firm’s established footprint from coast to coast and agile and customizable immigration technology offerings serve as additional advantages of Ogletree Deakins as an AmLaw 100 firm. We are delighted to welcome Claudia and Amanda and expand our boots on the ground in California with such high caliber lawyers.”
“Amanda and Claudia’s robust experience and proven record of handling the full range of employment-based immigration matters for sophisticated clients, especially in these critical sectors where employers always have a need for the right talent in the right location, greatly complements our firm’s existing immigration practice,” said Bernhard Mueller, co-chair of Ogletree Deakins’ Immigration Practice Group. “We are very excited about Amanda and Claudia joining Ogletree Deakins in expanding our services on the West Coast.”
