Christian is the Managing Partner of Fragomen’s Detroit, Michigan office. In addition to overseeing the operations of the firm’s presence in the Motor City, he chairs our firm’s Automotive Industry Practice Group, which is comprised of attorneys and immigration professionals throughout the world with automotive clients. Christian is central to developing Fragomen’s top-down strategic approach to the automotive industry.
Christian and his team possess a deep familiarity with the challenges facing the automobile sector and a deft touch for devising creative responses to them. Together, they structure comprehensive immigration programs, track and gather industry intelligence and work closely with consulates and other authorities to achieve results for their clients. His work includes:
- From a U.S. immigration perspective, helping automotive industry clients devise effective compliance plans to respond to and be prepared for unionization efforts and labor actions, including the 2023 strike against the big three automakers. In addition to representing his own automaker and supplier clients, Christian coordinates the efforts of Fragomen attorneys and teams who represent the sector across jurisdictions, helping them gather, share and develop immigration data related to labor actions.
- Partnering with automakers as they respond to the advent of electric and autonomous vehicle technology. These new technologies demand a creative and flexible use of foreign talent and knowledge by the auto industry; Christian spearheaded innovative responses, including the use of national interest waivers to facilitate successful green card applications.
Clients value Christian for his diligence, responsiveness and personal care. He strives to put the entire service offering of Fragomen at their disposal and to coordinate with leaders across the firm to provide tailored, effective solutions.
