He is a sought after featured writer on immigration issues providing ongoing information to both his clients and those affected by changes in immigration law. Murali often serves as a resource to the media and as an educator to executive teams and human resource professionals. He also frequently counsels corporate and employment attorneys on aspects of immigration law.
