Sarah Cave, a securities and bankruptcy litigation partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, has become an “immigration guru,” according to Heidi Lee Henderson, senior director of legal services at inMotion, whose cases Cave has handled pro bono for the past six years.

Cave, 38, was first introduced to pro bono immigration work as a first-year associate in 1998. The University of Michigan Law School graduate said she fell in love with the work, which she said combines challenging legal issues with compelling human stories.
