RALEIGH, N.C. -- Murali Bashyam, founding attorney and managing partner of Bashyam Spiro, LLP, a firm committed to the practice of Immigration and Nationality Law, was selected by Super Lawyers Magazine for their "North Carolina Rising Stars 2010" honor.

Bashyam is a skillful strategist in employment-based immigration including immigrant and non-immigrant visa applications processing, inbound and outbound immigration, alien labor certifications, and professional and intra-company transferee visas. His strategic counsel on planning for recruiting and hiring foreign professionals has brought timely immigration solutions to clients across the globe from mid-sized companies to large multinational corporations.

He is a featured writer on immigration issues providing ongoing information to both his clients and those affected by changes in immigration law.

The recognition as a "Rising Star" in the field of law is the result of a detailed and comprehensive selection process by Super Lawyers Magazine, which includes evaluation of 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Only 2.5 percent of lawyers in any state will be considered for this recognition each year.

"I am very flattered and humbled by the recognition," Bashyam said."Immigration allows us to give people the opportunity for a better life. It can change not only their lives, but the lives of the generations that follow. My commitment remains to provide the best legal representation to clients in order to better serve the immigrant communities and their constituents."

A graduate of Wake Forest University School of Law, Bashyam is also a frequent resource to the media and as an educator to human resource professionals.
