Women-led, global mobility partners driving growth strategies for our clients
We are three Immigration attorneys, Sharadha Kodem, Heidi Son, and Shirley Tang, who met while volunteering for the Executive Committee of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). We became fast friends and formed Kodem Son Tang Law Group that reflects our shared ideology and commitment to provide creative and comprehensive solutions for all our clients. We are dedicated to serving clients as a trusted single source on all matters related to business and employment-based immigration.

Our team has personally experienced the full U.S. immigration journey—from studying as F-1 students to working on H-1B visas and eventually becoming permanent residents and U.S. citizens.

This firsthand perspective allows us to offer guidance that is both strategically informed and genuinely empathetic.

We understand the delicate balance between steering through complex U.S. immigration landscape while achieving business milestones. As your strategic partner, we aim to minimize hurdles and formulate opportunities.
