Corporate Practice Immigration Attorney

About the role

Hiring at all experience levels — Associate through Senior Corporate immigration done right is genuinely complex work. Manifest Law is hiring attorneys for our employer practice at every level — from associates learning the craft to senior attorneys running full client portfolios and building toward practice leadership.

Responsibilities

• Work on the full employer immigration spectrum — H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, PERM, EB-2/EB-3 green cards, E-1/E-2s — for companies ranging from funded startups to large enterprises.
• Complexity and autonomy scale with your experience.
• The standard doesn't.

What makes this different

• Automated workflows manage attorney ↔ paralegal ↔ client handoffs so nothing falls through and you're never chasing status.
• Smart draft tracking benchmarks your filings and builds a feedback loop — you get better with every case.
• Unified context hub consolidates every email, meeting note, and portal update into one place per matter — full case context, always, without digging through inboxes.

How the model works

• You control your caseload intensity.
• A focused, selective portfolio earns a strong, stable income.
• A more aggressive one earns significantly above market.
• The lever is yours — with one condition: every client you take on gets Manifest's standard.
• Aggressive SLAs, rigorous legal work, and the proactive communication that makes HR teams trust their outside counsel.

Career path

• Associates build hands-on experience on real employer matters with direct mentorship.
• Mid-level attorneys grow into full client ownership and strategic advisor skills.
• Senior attorneys operate autonomously, mentor junior colleagues, and develop toward practice leadership.
• The destination, for those who want it, is Practice Ownership — earning $200K–$1M+.

What we're looking for, at every level

• Associate (0–3 years): Strong research and writing skills, organized and responsive work style, genuine interest in employer immigration. Paralegal, clinic, or corporate law background a plus.
• Mid-Level (3–6 years): Hands-on H-1B, PERM, or intracompany transfer experience; comfort working directly with HR contacts; proactive ownership approach.
• Senior (6+ years): Deep expertise across the employer immigration spectrum; ability to serve as a trusted strategic advisor to client HR and Legal leadership; drive toward practice leadership.

Across all levels

• J.D. and active U.S. bar admission (or awaiting results for associates)
• Full commitment to Manifest's SLAs and quality standards
• Self-motivated, organized, deadline-driven
• Communication that client-side HR teams find clear, proactive, and trustworthy

Compensation

$130,000–$250,000. Base scales with experience. Bonus scales with your output and quality. Path to $200K–$1M+ at practice leadership.
