A pivotal member of the Fragomen team since the firm’s early days, Noreen Quirk has led a fascinating career in immigration law, paving the way for female attorneys and partners at the firm and forging client relationships that have spanned decades.

I met Noreen on my first day with the firm in the early 1980s. She was a young associate, but clearly a rising star. Noreen was called upon to work directly with Austin Fragomen, the firm’s current chairman, on the most complex and demanding cases, including federal litigation, renunciation of citizenship and matters involving celebrities.
