Elizabeth Chatham is an attorney for Osborn Maledon and is a partner in the firm’s Immigration Law Group and mother of two. Chatham was born in India and deeply understands the importance of the immigration process. With more than a decade of complex immigration experience, Chatham understands how companies operate and specializes in providing helpful legal guidance to clients. “My main goal is to help impact other people’s lives in a positive way,” Chatham says. Chatham has more than a decade’s worth of experience helping immigrants get their start in achieving the “American dream.” “I think it’s important to be in touch with what you value and what you believe in as a person,” Chatham says. “I know because of immigration and my experience how confusing it can be, so I like to work with organizations that directly help immigrants in a way that I do not in my professional life.” Chatham also donates her time to organizations such as the Arizona South Asians For Safe Families, as well as other organizations. “Just immerse and absorb yourself in learning everything you can in the field that you choose,” Chatham says. “Pick something you love and you’re interested in and you’re passionate about, and be hungry. Just learn, learn, learn.”
