Shiv Chandrakantshah serves as Klug Law Firm’s Director of Data Analytics. He has been living and breathing immigration since 2000 when he arrived in the United States as an immigrant himself.
Coming with a law degree from India, he started working at a small IT firm in 2001, helping them prepare H-1B and other visa petitions for the firm’s foreign-born employees. He worked at this small IT firm for three years and then went on to a boutique immigration law firm in Atlanta to learn the immigration process from the law firm side. There, he helped file visa applications on behalf of the firm’s clients, did business development and, most importantly, started learning how to build various reports.
After a few years, he joined one of the largest employment and immigration law firms in the United States where he gained experience with corporate clients doing high-volume business immigration work. He then worked at Microsoft in their in-house immigration team, and then at the country’s largest business immigration law firm until December 2017.
Throughout all these experiences, he worked through some of the most complex challenges faced by the immigration industry and realized that his combination of skills was addressing a huge gap in the immigration market. He noticed that most immigration law firms, as well as the companies hiring foreign workers, didn’t have access to the kind of business intelligence and legal data analytics that he was building in-house for the employers he had been working with. He realized that he had a unique set of skills – immigration process know-how, technical savvy and a knack for data analytics – that could bring value to law firms.
In his role with our firm as Director of Data Analytics, Shiv helps us to ensure that we always maintain the highest levels of data integrity, streamline our immigration processes and procedures, leverage data to drive productivity, and find new efficiencies.
