Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Ellis operates as an immigration law firm combined with a technology platform focused on U.S. business immigration, including visas and green cards. The offering is structured in two parts: a law firm staffed by attorneys who have run immigration programs for organizations ranging from single-founder startups to Fortune 500 companies, and a software platform that acts as a single system of record for people/HR teams and foreign national employees, covering case statuses, visa deadlines, and critical documents.

Platform components described by the company include Track, which provides visibility into each stage from internal review through post-filing updates via a direct USCIS integration; Radar, which issues automatic alerts for renewals, expirations, and deadlines; Vault, for secure storage of immigration documents, petitions, and approvals; and Ellis AI, a natural-language query layer for questions such as the status of an individual H-1B case or which employees require renewals in a given quarter. The platform is described as syncing with a customer's HRIS and updating in real time. Ellis states that cases run through structured workflows and automated checks but that nothing is finalized without human attorney review.

Business model

Ellis combines legal services delivered by its own attorneys with a subscription-style software platform used by employer people teams and their foreign national employees; the site lists a Pricing page and directs prospects to schedule a call or demo rather than publishing rates.

Traction

The website names customers and references including Adaptive Security, Wordware, Symbolica, Micro1 and Trustwell, and publishes testimonials from Diane Yoon (former VP of People at OpenAI), Sean McDermott (Chief People Officer, Adaptive Security) and Filip Kozera (Founder & CEO, Wordware).

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography

Market position

Ellis presents itself as a technology-enabled alternative in the U.S. business immigration services market, competing with conventional immigration law firms and with standalone immigration software.

Ellis positions itself against traditional immigration law firms by pairing licensed attorney work with software-driven workflows, automated checks and customer-facing visibility, and against software-only vendors by requiring attorney review before anything is finalized.

Technology

A centralized immigration management platform with real-time case tracking through a direct USCIS integration, HRIS synchronization, automated deadline and renewal alerts (Radar), secure document storage for petitions and approvals (Vault), and an AI assistant (Ellis AI) that answers natural-language questions about case status and upcoming renewals. Structured workflows and automated checks are paired with mandatory human attorney review.

Go-to-market

Direct sales through scheduled calls and personalized product demos, supported by customer testimonials from people leaders and founders; the company also offers to take over existing immigration caseloads from incumbent providers.

Employers hiring international talent in the United States, primarily people/HR and global mobility teams, spanning single-founder startups and early-stage teams through Fortune 500 companies.

Geography

Services are focused on U.S. immigration, including visa and green card processes and filings with USCIS.
