The firms in Visalaw International regularly represent the largest global companies in immigration matters and are highly regarded in their home countries.
Members of Visalaw International also:

- Pioneer the use of technology in the practice of immigration law
- Authoring best-selling immigration law books in their countries
- Are regularly consulted by journalists from national and international media organizations
Visalaw International members are found in each of the world's regions and through the alliance, member firms can assist clients locating anywhere in the world.
