While Neo brings AI-native immigration expertise focused on EB-1A, NIW, and O-1 petitions for tech talent, Concord & Sage brings decades of experience across immigration, securities law, intellectual property, and cross-border business operations. Together, we can offer a more comprehensive path for professionals building careers and companies in the United States.

About Concord & Sage

Concord & Sage is a U.S. law firm specializing in three major areas of federal law: securities law, intellectual property law, and immigration law. They also handle state-level matters including corporate formation, employment law, and contract work across multiple U.S. jurisdictions.

The firm maintains a strong cross-border practice, collaborating with professional institutions in China and operating through partner firms internationally. This makes them particularly well-suited for clients navigating both U.S. immigration and international business operations.

02

Deep immigration experience

Concord & Sage manages a full range of immigration and visa applications — including EB-series immigrant petitions, O-1 visas, J visas, H-1B visas, and representation before immigration courts. Their immigration team has handled cases across industries, from technology and finance to entertainment and academia.

Their attorney Xiangjun He was nominated for the 2025 ALB China Regional Law Awards, reflecting recognized expertise within the profession. The firm's multilingual team serves clients in English, Mandarin, and Spanish — providing accessible legal support for a diverse client base.

03

Beyond immigration: Securities and capital markets

For founders raising capital or planning a public listing, Concord & Sage's capital markets team assists issuers and underwriters with NASDAQ listings, SEC inquiries, and regulatory compliance. They have facilitated IPOs for multiple companies and assisted with refinancing projects in U.S. capital markets.

This is especially relevant for Neo clients who are startup founders on O-1 or NIW petitions — having securities counsel who already understands your immigration timeline and business structure can save significant time and coordination.

04

Intellectual property protection

Concord & Sage holds qualifications as both patent agents and trademark attorneys, handling USPTO filings and federal court IP litigation. For technical founders and researchers, this means patent strategy and immigration strategy can be coordinated under one partnership — your original contributions for an EB-1A petition can be protected as IP at the same time.

05

One-stop cross-border legal support

Many of our clients are navigating complex situations that span multiple legal areas: incorporating a U.S. company while on a visa, raising venture capital with international investors, protecting IP developed across borders, or managing employment law compliance as a first-time founder.

Concord & Sage's one-stop approach to cross-border legal services — covering corporate formation, tax compliance, notarization, employment law, and contract work — complements Neo's focused immigration practice. Clients can now access a full suite of legal support through a single trusted partnership.

06

What this means for Neo clients

  • Access to experienced immigration attorneys with a track record across EB-series, O-1, H-1B, and J visa categories.
  • Securities and capital markets counsel for founders raising rounds or planning IPOs — coordinated with your immigration timeline.
  • Patent and trademark support through qualified USPTO agents — align your IP strategy with your EB-1A original contributions evidence.
  • Multilingual legal support in English, Mandarin, and Spanish across five U.S. offices.
  • Cross-border business services for clients with operations or investors in China, Mexico, and other international markets.
  • A single partnership covering immigration, corporate, employment, IP, and securities law — no more juggling five different firms.
