US - Immigration Law Firm of the Year in Florida Cordero & Associates Luis Cordero Partner Tel: +1 305 777 2677 lcordero@corderoassociates.com www.corderoassociates.com
Luis Cordero has practised immigration law exclusively for well over 20 years. In 2006, after many years as a partner in a multinational firm, he established his own firm, Cordero & Associates, offering services in the area of immigration, nationality and consular law. Cordero & Associates serves corporate and individual clients throughout the US, Latin America and Europe from its Miami headquarters as well as offices in New York, Washington DC, Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Caracas. It also offers a full suite of complementary advisory services including assistance with corporate legal matters, familiarisation with all aspects of US labour law, tax planning, and real estate negotiations. Mr Cordero noted: “Our firm differs from others in that it is tightly focused on our core competencies. Rather than a small or large firm, it is a boutique. The firm draws experience from large practices, as a number of its employees and

the principal are former large-firm employees or partners. While Cordero & Associates has only six to eight lawyers, it is not just a small firm. “We take on very complex matters that are usually reserved for larger firms. This includes representing some of the larger corporations in the world. The firm is sought out not because it is a small firm, but because it is so entrenched in the field that it has the reputation for the highest level of service and work product. We often handle matters that large-firm departments refer to us.” When asked about some prevalent issues pertaining to immigration law practise in Florida at present, Mr Cordero added that this area of the law is highly subjective, and discretion plays a very important role in decision making. Cordero & Associates has a remarkably strong reputation, not only in the community but with the immigration courts, immigration offices and the departments of state. This reputation is extremely important to those government officials as they determine whether a matter is worthy of a favourable decision. “The firm becomes the face of the client, and undoubtedly we can provide the best face forward,” said Mr Cordero. Meanwhile, Cordero & Associates’ clientele is today extremely varied and, as a full service immigration firm, its partners represent large, medium and small corporations, wealthy investors, entertainers, as well as persons dealing with immigration-related problems as a result of possible criminal issues, political problems, etc. Mr Cordero concluded: “We are also well positioned internationally, both through our offices and with our relationships. Our practice is, by its very nature, international. It is impossible to be at the top of this field and not be well versed in the intricacies of international negotiations. You must understand political, economic and cultural issues well in order to excel. However, few of the competitors have this level of expertise. We do.”
