Managing Partner David Zaritzky Brown and Supervising Attorney Barbara Vaz discussed contingency planning for employees not selected in the 2026 H-1B lottery. The session focused on leveraging Canadian immigration programs to maintain workforce continuity and retain skilled U.S. employees.

David and Barbara explained why Canada was an attractive alternative, covering shared time zones, immigration pathways, and strategies for quickly hiring or relocating employees. Attendees also learned how Brown Immigration Law supported permanent residence in Canada and pathways back to the U.S. when needed.

A Q&A session followed so participants could get answers to their specific questions and plan accordingly.
