Akshat Divatia

Attorney Akshat Divatia heads the immigration practice at Harris Sliwoski LLP, where he leads clients through the complexities of U.S. immigration law. Having emigrated from India and become a naturalized U.S. citizen, he understands the challenges and emotions tied to the immigration process. His multicultural background—having lived on four continents—and fluency in English, Gujarati, Hindi, Spanish, and conversational Catalan allow him to connect meaningfully with individuals, families, and businesses navigating global mobility. His practice spans a wide range of immigration matters, including visas for investors, specialty occupation workers, intracompany transferees, athletes, entertainers, and religious workers, as well as family-based petitions and naturalization. Akshat advises multinationals establishing U.S. operations, global logistics companies sponsoring foreign-born employees, and entrepreneurs seeking investor status. He also guides U.S. citizens sponsoring spouses and parents, and permanent residents preserving their status abroad. Clients choose Akshat not only for his technical expertise but also for his empathy, multicultural understanding, and ability to craft strategies that align with both personal journeys and business goals.
