Founded in 2025 by attorney Shervin Abachi, Esq.—after many years as a Senior Attorney at Sethi & Mazaheri LLC—the firm was established to provide a focused, personalized approach to both immigration and entertainment law. While Shervin remains Of Counsel to Sethi & Mazaheri, we also leverage a vast network of highly experienced immigration attorneys to deliver the most comprehensive, strategic, and client-centered representation possible.
Our core expertise lies in guiding clients through talent-based immigration matters, including O, P, EB-1, and EB-2/NIW petitions, as well as addressing critical entertainment industry issues like contract negotiation, intellectual property protection, and compliance. At the same time, we are fully equipped to handle a wide range of immigration cases beyond talent-based visas. For clients navigating international regulatory landscapes, our Of Counsel attorneys also provide counsel on OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) compliance, assisting individuals and businesses in obtaining necessary licenses for transactions involving sanctioned countries and safeguarding against severe penalties for non-compliance.
With years of experience at the intersection of immigration, entertainment, and art law, Shervin Abachi established Abachi Law LLC to provide creative professionals, artists, and entertainers with specialized legal guidance. His practice focuses on navigating intricate employment-based visa petitions—particularly O, P, EB-1, and EB-2/NIW visas—for clients with extraordinary abilities in the arts and other creative industries. Shervin’s experience extends beyond immigration to include contract negotiation, copyright, trademarks, employment issues, and strategic counsel for talent management and arts organizations in the U.S. and internationally.
Before founding Abachi Law, Shervin served as a Senior Associate Attorney at Sethi & Mazaheri, LLC, representing hundreds of clients and honing his expertise in complex immigration and entertainment matters.
His passion for empowering artists is reflected in his founding of an enterprise dedicated to supporting immigrant artists with employment opportunities and platforms for expression. He remains active in non-profit advocacy through his advisory role at the Artistic Freedom Initiative, aiding at-risk international artists, and through his board membership at Big Dance Theater, a New York-based cultural organization.
