Biography

Elizabeth (Liz) La Rocca is a Partner focused on corporate immigration, advising employers and investors on strategic, compliant, and business-driven immigration solutions. She represents clients ranging from multinational corporations and financial institutions to emerging growth companies, Family Offices, and high-net-worth individuals across a wide range of industries.

In addition to her employment-based practice, Liz is highly experienced in advising investors, entrepreneurs, and Family Offices on investment-based immigration pathways. She works closely with international tax advisors, wealth planners, and corporate stakeholders to structure and navigate E-2 investor visas and other strategic entry options to the United States. Her work with Family Offices includes coordinating sophisticated cross-border planning, supporting relocation strategies for principals and executives, and aligning immigration solutions with broader investment and estate planning objectives.
