Immigration Attorney
About the role
We are hiring an Immigration Attorney to own a complex caseload of employment-based matters and deliver exceptional client outcomes. This is not a back-office legal role. You will be a trusted advisor to clients navigating some of the most consequential decisions of their lives, and you will be expected to bring the full weight of your legal judgment to every case. You will work closely with our legal leadership, operations, and product teams.
Responsibilities
- Own your caseload
- Manage a full range of employment-based immigration matters: EB-1A/B, EB-2 NIW, O-1A/B, H-1B, L-1, PERM, TN, E-2, and beyond
- Serve as attorney of record and draft petitions that are persuasive, precise, and client-centered
- Anticipate issues before they become problems — surface risk early, communicate proactively, and drive cases to resolution
- Deliver an Exceptional Client Experience
- Guide clients through complex and often uncertain processes with clarity, strategy, and care
- Communicate with urgency and directness — clients should always know where they stand and what comes next
- Own escalations on your cases from intake through resolution
- Contribute to legal quality and systems
- Uphold and improve Alma’s legal standards across templates, processes, and workflows
- Identify gaps in how we work and bring solutions — not just observations
- Collaborate with product and operations to surface tooling needs and workflow improvements
- Support new clients
- Participate in new client consultations, assess eligibility, and recommend pathways with confidence
Requirements
You Are a Good Fit If You Have:
- A minimum of 3 years of experience practicing employment-based immigration law
- A J.D. or LL.M. from an accredited institution
- Are licensed to practice law
- Are deeply client-obsessed and believe exceptional legal work and exceptional client service are the same thing
- Communicate proactively, take full ownership of your cases, and follow through reliably, even at high workloads
- Bring strong legal judgment and know how to navigate ambiguity — many cases fall into gray zones that require nuance and precision
- Are excited about AI-assisted legal workflows and see technology as a way to increase the quality and consistency of your work
- Want to help build systems, not just operate within them
Who Should Apply
Do Not Apply If You Are Comfortable With Work That Is Merely Good Enough
You Struggle To Operate With Speed, Urgency, And Sound Judgment At The Same Time
You Do Not Instinctively Connect Your Legal Work To Client Outcomes And Business Results
You Prefer To Execute Tasks Rather Than Take Ownership Of Outcomes
You Are Not Motivated By Building And Improving Systems In A Fast-Changing Environment
You Are Looking For A Narrow, Purely Execution-Focused Legal Role
