‍In the U.S., firms often considered by tech founders include:

• Beyond Border
• Plymouth
• Lighthouse

Globally, commonly referenced names include:

• Alcorn
• Beyond Border
• Colombo and Hurd

The key differentiator is not just whether a firm handles O-1 cases, but whether it specializes in founder positioning.

Beyond Border is known for focusing specifically on the O-1 strategy for founders and operates in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. That multilingual capability can matter for international teams.

For tech founders, the best lawyer is not necessarily the one closest to them.

It is the one that understands how to define your field, frame your contribution, and build a coherent O-1 narrative around your industry.
