ISTBANGALORE: Over the last few months IT major Infosys Technologies has been strengthening its legal services team in the US by appointing immigration experts at its Texas office. This comes ahead of a trial Infosys faces on August 20 this year at an Alabama court over an alleged visa fraud case filed by whistle-blower Jay Palmer, an Infosys employee, in February last year.

According to posts on LinkedIn, Infosys appointed Erin Green as its global immigration lead to work with the legal and HR teams to ensure 100% US immigration compliance.

In August, Liz Jordan was appointed as senior associate lead for immigration at Infosys. She previously worked as an immigration paralegal at US-based corporate immigration law firm Fragomen, Del, Bernsen and Loewey. Two other recent appointments are Laurie Hawkins, appointed as practice lead of immigration and was previously the director of HR and immigration services at Velie Law firm, and Nirala Maharaj, appointed as associate lead of global immigration and was previously paralegal at Weiss, Alden and Polo.
