Maria del Carmen Ramos Chaired AILA Central Florida Chapter’s 33rd Annual Immigration Law Conference
TAMPA, FL –Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP is pleased to announce that Maria del Carmen Ramos, partner in the firm’s Tampa office and co-chair of the firm’s Immigration practice group, chaired the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Central Florida Chapter’s 33rd Annual Immigration Law Conference.
Maria is the Vice Chair of Education for AILA Central Florida. AILA is a national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice; advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy; advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice; and enhance the professional development of its members.
The conference focused on business and family immigration, with experts from around the country presenting on a variety of immigration hot topics ranging from complicated issues in worksite enforcement to the latest on the public charge rule.
Clients across multiple industries frequently turn to Maria for her knowledge and experience in counseling on immigration issues. Twice named Tampa’s top immigration lawyer, Maria understands that immigration law is a way for employers to move human capital, including workers’ knowledge, talent, skills, experience, and training, around the world.
Most employers rightly view U.S. immigration law as a labyrinth—an elaborate, confusing set of rules that are all but impossible to navigate. But with nearly two decades of experience navigating the immigration statutes, regulations, and policy guidance, Maria is able to help employers efficiently and cost-effectively move employees where they need them, when they need them.
