Managing Immigration Attorney/Of Counsel – (B2C - EB-1A/NIW/O-1)

About the Role

Manifest Law is one of the first AI-native corporate immigration firms in the country, offering attorneys the scale of a larger firm with the quality client service of a boutique. We handle sophisticated, high-stakes matters with technology that removes busywork, allowing attorneys to focus on strategy, judgment, and client relationships. This role involves leading a pod, owning its output, and setting the quality bar for extraordinary-ability and high-skilled visa categories (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1A).

Responsibilities

• Lead a pod, owning everything it produces and everyone in it, across EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1A matters.
• Provide second-chair, senior-level review on cases before filing, setting the quality bar for your pod.
• Develop and coach consulting and production attorneys, setting standards and growing their skills.
• Own pod-level quality and output, ensuring both volume and high standards are met.
• Retain and motivate talent, fostering growth and high performance within your pod.
• Set the pace and model Manifest’s values, integrating tech, speed, and innovation into daily work.

• 10+ years of experience with deep expertise in extraordinary-ability and high-skilled visa categories (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1A) and broader business immigration (H-1B, L-1, PERM).
• Track record of leading and growing attorneys, with a focus on team outcomes rather than individual caseloads.
• Strong judgment on case strategy and quality, with the ability to review work and guide improvements.
• Comfort in a high-cadence, high-growth environment, accountable for pod throughput and quality.
• Embrace Manifest’s AI tools as a performance multiplier and encourage your pod to do the same.
