Wendy Erdly Joins Masliah & Soloway

Wendy Erdly joined Masliah & Soloway this spring and has been actively involved in our business immigration practice, working on various non-immigrant visa matters (e.g., E-1, E-2, H-1B, L-1A, L-1B, and O-1 petitions) and PERM Labor Certification, and Employment Based First Preference (EB-1) cases for aliens of extraordinary ability.

Ms. Erdly received her B.A., magna cum laude, from Lafayette College in 1999, where she was Phi Beta Kappa. In 2002, Ms. Erdly received her J.D. from Vanderbilt University Law School where she was a Dean's List student, the Chief Justice of the Moot Court Board and the recipient of the school’s award for Scholastic Excellence in Constitutional Law. Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Erdly was a litigation associate with Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP where she prosecuted securities fraud cases and represented public pension fund clients in litigation recoveries in excess of $300 million. Early in her career, Ms. Erdly practiced with Dewey Ballantine where she focused on securities fraud and white collar criminal defense cases (including internal investigations and SEC investigations). Ms. Erdly’s experience with complex business matters and representation of corporate and public clients gives her unique insight into the needs of corporate clients and their immigration issues.
