ZURICH, Dec. 8, 2021 /CNW/ -- Fragomen is pleased to announce that leading immigration expert, Timo Heck, has joined the firm as Practice Leader in Switzerland.

"We are delighted to welcome Timo to the firm. His experience and dedication to client service make him a fantastic fit for the firm," said George Koureas, Europe Managing Partner at Fragomen. "Timo joins us at a pivotal time in the evolution and growth of our practices in Europe, and I am excited to work with him and our team in Zurich".
