Professional Experience

Vipul helps clients with immigration consultations, visa applications, L-1 petitions, and waiver cases. He also handles legal research and prepares Indian legal documents. His approach is practical and built around the client.

Earlier in his career, he worked at Sudhir Shah & Associates, an immigration law firm. He also worked at Shetty-Sethna Associates, where he handled FERA and FEMA matters, public interest litigation, and intellectual property law.

Vipul is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and has attended its Annual Conferences. At his firm, he takes the time to understand each client’s situation, explain the legal options clearly, and guide them step by step through the paperwork and application process.

Education & Qualifications

Vipul holds a Bachelor of Legal Science (BLS), a Bachelor of Laws (LLB), and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Mumbai. He also completed a Certificate Course in Intellectual Property Law at IIPS, along with distance-learning courses from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva.

International Collaborations

Vipul’s work reaches well beyond India. He works with partners abroad to serve clients across borders.

Collaboration with Williams Global Law, PLLC

Vipul Joshi & Associates has partnered with Williams Global Law, PLLC, a firm in Washington, D.C., led by Managing Partner Simone Williams. Together, the two firms help Indian clients who want to build a future in the United States, including professionals, entrepreneurs, and families.

The partnership focuses on complex U.S. immigration matters, such as L-1 intracompany transfers, EB-5 investor visas, employment-based immigration, waivers, mandamus actions, and immigration litigation. By combining their strengths, both firms offer personal guidance, careful representation, and clear support at every stage.

Due Diligence Visit to Portugal

Vipul visited Lisbon and the Algarve in Portugal to inspect investments firsthand, working with Pagani Capital. The company’s CEO, João Pagani Toscano, welcomed him personally and joined him throughout the visit.

During the trip, Vipul met with Ricardo Louro of Beyond Legal, Gustavo Machado Dias of CRS Advogados, and Nuno Sousa Pereira, CFA, of Sixty Degrees. These meetings covered the legal, immigration, and fund management sides of the investment process.

The visit reflects what Vipul values most: openness, direct access to the right people, and a close look at the people, processes, and assets behind any investment. He believes clients deserve decisions based on facts, not promises.

Publications & Contributions

Vipul has written articles for ET Edge, Mid-Day, and Diamond Magazine (published from Surat). He is also the author of the books 77-QA and Oh America, Aah Immigration. He has written about U.S. universities for Immigration Times, a Gujarati publication, and he served on The Economic Times digital panel, where he answered readers’ immigration questions.

Through his practice, his partnerships abroad, and his writing, Vipul continues to help individuals and families find their way through the immigration process with confidence.
