Immigration services firm Fragomen recently announced that it’s opening a new center in Pittsburgh, staffed with up to 50 employees, where it will develop or redevelop much of its software and cybersecurity technology in-house.

Fragomen’s aggressive do-it-yourself approach to technology sets it apart in the industry. But leaders at several Pennsylvania-born law firms insisted it isn’t all that different from what they’re doing themselves—even if their firms only plan to tackle so much tech innovation on their own.
