About Us

At its core, Eclipse Partners is a partnership between Mongolian-American Attorney Namuun Byambadorj, and Iranian-American Attorney Bardia Memar.

The duo met in 2022 while both were enrolled at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Coincidentally, both had signed up for an immigration law clinical program and were placed in the same group together representing an immigrant family seeking asylum. It was their first case—and their first success. They would again be drawn to the same immigration law firm after graduating, gaining valuable experience and insight into the intricacies of immigration law practice. They also would often discuss with one another whether, maybe, there were some things that these more traditional firms could be doing better. Whether it involved client outreach, managerial approaches, or general organizational methods, Ms. Byambadorj and Mr. Memar believed that practitioners of immigration law needed to innovate.

Thus, these two attorneys—much like the Sun and the Moon—came together to eclipse the old style of immigration practice, and shed light on new pathways.
