Jewell Stewart & Pratt (JSP) is pleased to announce that firm Principal Wendy Stewart, following sixteen years of practice with the firm, will transition from Principal to Of Counsel effective January 1, 2021.
Following her admission as a barrister and solicitor in Ontario, Canada, Wendy joined JSP (then Jewell & Associates) in 2004. In her sixteen years with JSP, including five years as a Principal, Wendy has been recognized as a leader internally and externally in the complex and highly regulated area of PERM labor certifications and I-140 immigrant petitions for employment-based immigrants. She has trained and developed the firm’s PERM/I-140 team in the intricacies of those matters, and we take pride in the level of expertise and service the group provides to our clients.
Wendy is a member of the California State Bar and is a Certified Specialist in Immigration & Nationality Law by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization, is recognized by Who’s Who Legal for Corporate Immigration, has been an invited speaker in her field at immigration law conferences, and has handled diverse array of pro bono matters including volunteer asylum work at the border in South Texas, and work on behalf of immigrant minors applying for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.
In Wendy’s new Of Counsel role, she will continue to be a part of the firm’s management team and will continue to support clients in PERM, I-140, and related matters. JSP’s PERM/I-140 team, which has been led by JSP Principal Jennifer Carr since 2019, will continue under Jennifer’s leadership.
Congratulations to Wendy!
