Addie Hogan and Christy Umstadter Named to Lawdragon’s 2026 100 Leading Immigration Lawyers

CHICAGO, May 26, 2026 – Lawdragon has named Addie Hogan, managing partner, and Christy Umstadter, partner, of Corporate Immigration Partners, PC, the exclusive U.S. affiliate law firm of Envoy Global, to its 2026 100 Leading Immigration Lawyers guide, recognizing their continued leadership in a complex and evolving area of law. 

The annual Lawdragon list highlights a select group of attorneys across the immigration spectrum for their expertise, integrity and impact. Lawdragon makes selections through a rigorous process that includes independent research, peer nominations, industry vetting and analysis of candidates’ professional work and contributions. 

This marks the third consecutive year Hogan and Umstadter have earned the distinction. 

Hogan, who brings more than 20 years of experience in U.S. business immigration and global mobility, advises employers on designing and managing strategic immigration programs. She leads legal teams that handle employment-based visas and permanent residency matters and is a certified Global Mobility Specialist (GMS®). Hogan also spearheads the firm’s pro bono initiatives, efforts that have earned her recognition, including the Super Lawyers Pro Bono Award.

“This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team to delivering thoughtful, high-impact immigration solutions for our clients,” said Hogan. “We’re proud to help organizations navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape while maintaining a strong commitment to service and integrity.” 

Umstadter has focused on immigration law for more than two decades. She advises clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. She began working with foreign nationals in 1997 and has practiced business immigration law since 2001. Like Hogan, she is a certified Global Mobility Specialist (GMS®) and brings deep insight into global mobility and workforce challenges. 

“I’m honored to be recognized alongside so many respected peers in the immigration bar,” said Umstadter. “Our work is about more than compliance. It’s about helping people and businesses succeed across borders, often during pivotal moments in their growth.” 

Jason Brennan, CEO of Envoy Global, praised both attorneys for their ongoing excellence and leadership within the field. 

“Addie and Christy exemplify the high standards and client-first mindset that define our organization,” said Brennan. “Their recognition by Lawdragon for a third consecutive year underscores not only their individual expertise, but also the strength of our shared mission to simplify global immigration for employers and their talent.” 

The Lawdragon guide continues to spotlight leaders who are shaping immigration law and policy while helping clients navigate one of today’s most challenging legal environments. Addie and Christy represent this leadership every day with Envoy Global clients and their sponsored employees.
