Immigration Attorney Who Loves Casework at Growing L.A. Firm

About the Role

Blaker & Granet LLP (B&G), an LGBTQ+- and woman-owned immigration law firm in Century City, L.A., is looking for an Associate Attorney with 4+ years of business immigration experience to join their friendly and hardworking firm. This is a role for an attorney who takes immense pride in their work and thrives on being the person others rely on. This isn't a forms-and-files role. You will own the full lifecycle of cases from inception to filing to client communications, initially under the supervision of B&G partners, but eventually autonomously.

What You'll Bring

You will likely be a perfect fit if:

• Precision is your baseline: You understand that in legal work, a small typo can have outsized consequences.
• You own your outcomes: You don't wait for a nudge; you see a need and fill it.
• You crave growth: This is not an entry-level role and not a "train-on-the-job" position. While the partners are happy to provide mentorship, you must already have a strong foundational understanding of standard work visa categories, and must be ready to handle the responsibility that comes with growth, including drafting, compiling, and managing immigration cases and clients.

Responsibilities

• Review eligibility, analyze, draft, compile, and file NIV and IV case types including H-1Bs, E-2s, E-3, TNs, J-1s, L-1s, O-1s, Ps, EB-1/2/3s (including NIWs), I-130s, IV Consular Processing, AOS, and PERMs.
• Communicate daily with clients and respond to all emails and phone calls within one business day.
• Update case management system (BlueDot).
• Provide unparalleled client service to help maintain and increase the firm's 140+ 5-star reviews on Google.

Qualifications

• JD from an accredited school and U.S. bar admission in good standing (any U.S. state).
• 4+ years of business immigration experience.
• Strong foundational understanding of standard work visa categories.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Google Workspace, Adobe, and BlueDot.

Pay & Benefits

• Salary Range: $120K/year to $160K/year, depending on experience and demonstrated value.
• 15% origination bonus for work brought in and serviced during tenure.
• Health, vision, and dental insurance.
• 401(k) with matching employer amounts.
• PTO and sick leave.
• Free breakfast, coffee, snacks, monthly team lunches, and team events.

Schedule & Location

• Hybrid role, 3 days in-office per week in a casual, dog-friendly Century City office. Parking provided.
• B&G strongly prefers candidates who can work 3 days in-office per week but is open to remote opportunities for the right candidate.
• Start Date: ASAP (with the understanding that currently employed candidates will need to give notice).
