Kim Clarke is a partner at Varnum LLP, where she focuses her practice on agriculture and immigration law. She routinely advises clients on a range of agricultural labor and employment matters, including compliance with migrant labor laws, H-2A worker issues, wage and hour regulations, and anti-discrimination requirements. In partnership with the Michigan Farm Bureau, Kim developed the Agricultural Employment Compliance Guide, an easy-to-use guide for farm employers trying to keep up with sometimes overwhelmingly complex federal and state employment laws.

In her immigration practice, Kim provides counsel on planning, strategy, and processes, including nonimmigrant petitions, both employment- and family-based permanent residence applications, expatriation, and foreign visa issues. She has developed a strong background in the area of worker verification issues and manages clients through internal and agency Form I-9 audits, USICE compliance investigations, and civil and criminal charges. Kim earned her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School and her bachelor's degree from Michigan State University.
