About
Shanon Randhawa Stevenson is a partner in Fisher Phillips’ Atlanta office, Chair of the firm's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, Co-Chair of the Immigration Practice Group, and a member of the firm’s COVID-19 Taskforce. Her practice focuses on immigration law in the information technology, financial services, healthcare, education, and manufacturing industries.
Shanon focuses on the underlying business issues that prompt organizations to obtain legal counsel, knowing that the compliance and regulatory aspects of maintaining a successful immigration program can distract employers from pursuing their core competencies and business objectives. Shanon partners with clients to alleviate that distraction and reduce their risk profiles so they can focus on the business of innovation and growth.
Shanon advises employers on I-9 and E-Verify compliance, resolving workforce shortages through strategic management of nonimmigrant and immigrant visa applications, immigration compliance for mergers and acquisitions, and USDOJ charges of discrimination under the anti-discrimination provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Co-Chair of the Immigration Practice Group since 2018, Shanon has influenced a period of sustained growth marked by a 140% increase in attorneys operating out of ten firm offices nationwide and serving a diverse and sophisticated range of clients.
As Chair of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, Shanon has driven substantial progress in Fisher Phillips' approach to education, recruiting, training and community outreach, culminating most recently in the Immigration Practice Group being named a 2021 “Inclusion Blueprint Champion” by Diversity Lab.
She was recognized as a leading practitioner for Immigration Law by The Legal 500 United States (2021-2022), The Best Lawyers in America (2018-2022), and Chambers USA (2022). Shanon is "AV" Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
