WASHINGTON, DC - The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) recognizes Gregory Siskind with the inaugural Technology & Innovation Award, in acknowledgment of his pioneering work leveraging technology to streamline processes, increase efficiency, and improve client service.

Gregory Siskind has led in the area of immigration law and technology for years - his history as a website pioneer, early internet marketer, co-founder of IMMPact Litigation, and more. But most recently he has truly made astonishing strides.

As a co-founder of Visalaw.ai, he harnessed his vision and commitment to building a generative AI product specifically for immigration lawyers. As his nominator wrote, he has been willing to take risks and spend the time necessary to build “a generative AI tool that is transforming the way immigration lawyers practice law…[reducing] the time it takes to analyze and prepare cases. It is a game-changer for AILA members.”

Further, Mr. Siskind helps others develop their own abilities and knowledge on how technology might help them in their practices. He appears in countless webinars, roundtables, innovation focus groups, chapter seminars, and national conferences. He also prepares and produces an annual survey of immigration case management software, then works with AILA to publish it for members.

Through his work, he has inspired a generation of immigration lawyers to embrace technology and innovation in their practices. With a proven track record of innovation and leadership in the field of immigration law, his most recent contributions in the past year are only the tip of the iceberg.
