Biography
Glen Nicholas Raj provides counsel on corporate immigration matters, strategic allocation development, and general immigration concerns.

In that capacity, he worked on appellate reviews related to taxation and commercial litigation, focusing on contract disputes and corporate claims. He later transitioned to Update Incorporated’s New York headquarters, where he established an attorney secondment practice for Fortune 500 corporations and investment banks in the region.
Beyond his legal work, Glen has held leadership positions in various advocacy organizations.
