US-based talent mobility technology specialist Topia has acquired immigration risk engine and knowledge base Pearl Global Tech, the company said.

Pearl Global Tech's solutions perform immigration risk assessments in seconds, ensuring that remote and traveling employees have the proper visas to work at their destination.

With the addition of Pearl Global Tech, Topia now simplifies compliance for the top two mobility risks--tax and immigration--enabling companies to support remote work and distributed work policies without relying on expensive, manual service providers.

Pearl Global Tech was founded in 2017 by Julie Pearl, an immigration lawyer who co-founded the Pearl Law Group in 1995, growing it into one of the largest and most awarded global firms in its field.

The Topia platform enables organizations to deliver mobility as part of a broader talent strategy encompassing all types of employee movement remote and distributed workforces, business travel, and more traditional relocations and assignments.

The Topia platform automates the global talent mobility process, including scenario-based planning, expat payroll, tax and immigration compliance, reporting and more.

Topia has raised over USD 100m from NewView Capital (formerly New Enterprise Associates), Notion Capital and others, and is a global company with offices throughout the Americas and EMEA.
