We would like to congratulate Samantha Wood, attorney at Lindner & Marsack, S.C., on her recent publication in Wisconsin Lawyer. Her article, “Leveraging Immigration to Address Labor Shortages,” provides timely and essential guidance for employers navigating workforce challenges in today’s tight labor market.

Samantha explores how nonimmigrant visa programs—such as H-1B, TN, L-1, R-1, O-1, E-2, and B-1—can serve as practical tools for employers looking to fill temporary or specialized roles. With labor-force participation declining and recruitment becoming more complex, she provides an often overlooked area for employers striving to maintain productivity and innovation.

The article highlights the importance of leveraging immigration not just to meet workforce demands but also to foster innovation, transfer skills, or specialized knowledge to other workers. Samantha’s legal insight offers a roadmap for companies seeking to navigate the nuances of immigration law while remaining compliant under increased regulatory scrutiny.

Samantha’s work with Lindner & Marsack S.C. covers a broad spectrum of labor and employment issues, including wage and hour, employment discrimination defense, unemployment compensation, immigration, family and medical leave, workplace health and safety, restrictive covenant agreements, collective bargaining, and labor arbitration.

We are proud of Samantha’s continued thought leadership and her dedication to supporting both our clients and the broader business community. Her work exemplifies Lindner & Marsack’s commitment to providing trusted legal counsel on the issues that matter most.

Congratulations, Samantha, on the publication!
