When Steven Lawson, Founder of Lawsorio Consulting, a Toronto-based firm specializing in E1 and E2 treaty visas, reflects on his career path, he describes it as a series of pauses and pivots that ultimately led him to where he is today. "I practiced law for a while, then transitioned into teaching," Lawson says. "Neither felt quite right, but those experiences shaped the way I approach what I do now."
The turning point came when his wife was offered a promotion in Toronto. Lawson moved with her in 2014 and, the following year, accepted a position at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto. The job immersed him in the world of U.S. visas, and it didn't take long for him to discover his niche. "Because of my legal background, I was pushed into a highly specialized category of visas, Treaty Trader and Treaty Investor Visas, known as E1 and E2," he says.
