Ira Katz

I am Ira Katz, and I have dedicated over 18 years to practicing immigration law, focusing on business immigration cases, complex immigration matters, E-2 treaty cases, U.S. citizenship, TN cases, and both immigrant and non-immigrant waivers of inadmissibility. My extensive expertise includes representing international business clients in navigating the immigration implications of mergers, acquisitions, and public offerings.

I earned my Juris Doctor degree from Cardozo Law School in 1987 and spent 11 years practicing abroad with a U.S. law firm in the Middle East. Before specializing in immigration law, I served as general counsel for a global hi-tech company and was a senior attorney at an Israeli law firm, primarily representing NASDAQ and OTCBB-listed companies in Israel and the U.S. My vast experience includes serving as international counsel to an aviation company and as chief legal officer and board member of an OTC medical/dental device manufacturer.

I have successfully handled numerous E-2 cases across diverse sectors, from cyber and artificial intelligence to restaurants and metal manufacturing. My deep understanding of corporate, securities, and immigration law has been crucial in assisting NASDAQ companies with structuring mergers and acquisitions while navigating complex relocation issues. As a member of the Connecticut Bar and the American Immigration Lawyers Association, I am committed to providing comprehensive legal support to help my clients achieve their immigration goals.
