Practice Lead/Owner (B2B - Corporate Practice) - Senior Business Immigration Attorney

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 using technology that removes busywork, allowing attorneys to focus on strategy, judgment, and client relationships. This role is for Practice Leads who want to build and own a corporate immigration practice with real ownership, sustainable pace, and a front-row seat in shaping a modern immigration practice.

Responsibilities

• Lead and own Manifest's corporate immigration practice for a roster of employer clients — H-1B, L-1, PERM, E-1/E-2, and the broader employer-immigration spectrum — with full accountability for its growth, quality, and profitability.
• Own enterprise client relationships and large-scale program management, ensuring clients retain Manifest because they trust you specifically.
• Drive business development and marketing for your practice, growing existing accounts and bringing in new ones through your network alongside Manifest's BD engine.
• Build and lead a team: hire, develop, and hold attorneys to Manifest's standard across consultations and case production.
• Use Manifest's AI-powered platform — automated workflows, smart draft review, and a unified case-context hub — as a performance multiplier for your team.
• Own pod profitability directly; your compensation is tied to the health of the practice you run, not a fixed docket.

Requirements

• J.D. and active U.S. bar admission.
• 10+ years of employer-side immigration experience across H-1B, L-1, PERM, E-1/E-2, and related categories.
• Experience owning enterprise client relationships end-to-end, not just individual matters.
• A track record managing or developing legal teams, with clear accountability for team outcomes.
• Comfort with public visibility — thought leadership, social presence, client events — and a professional network in HR, Legal, or People Ops circles.
• The ambition to build and run a practice, not just staff one.

Benefits

• Higher-agency work: Intake, document collection, status tracking, and client updates are handled by Manifest OS, freeing your time for strategy, drafting, and client interaction.
• No billable hour: Flat-fee pricing means no timekeeping or billable targets; work is judged on outcomes and client experience.
• Remote by design: The entire legal side of the firm is remote, with no plans to change.
• Real upside: Competitive pay from day one, with incentives tied to client outcomes and firm performance.
• Ground floor opportunity: Join an ambitious firm building lasting infrastructure and shape the future of legal practice.
• Your experience shapes the practice: Attorney feedback directly informs the firm’s technology and processes.
