Business Immigration Attorney
We are looking for a Business Immigration Attorney to join a high-performing legal team. This opportunity is ideal for a lawyer who thrives in a fast-moving practice focused on employment-based immigration and enjoys advising corporate clients on complex case matters. The role offers meaningful client contact, ownership of sophisticated filings, and the chance to contribute to a collaborative environment centered on quality, responsiveness, and practical legal solutions.
Responsibilities:
• Manage a broad portfolio of employment-based immigration matters independently, guiding cases from strategy through preparation, filing, and final resolution.
• Advise clients on nuanced immigration questions by analyzing regulations, applying legal authority, and developing practical recommendations tailored to business needs.
• Prepare and review petitions, applications, supporting letters, and related filings for key visa and permanent residence processes, including H-1B, L-1A, PERM, and Adjustment of Status matters.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for client stakeholders by delivering timely updates, leading discussions on case strategy, and responding clearly to complex legal inquiries.
• Support and mentor less experienced attorneys and legal staff by providing direction on casework, reviewing output, and encouraging consistent career development.
• Maintain accurate case records and ensure matters are handled in accordance with firm procedures, documentation standards, and compliance expectations.
• Identify opportunities to improve service delivery, increase operational efficiency, and promote consistent practices across immigration workflows and case management systems.
• Contribute to client presentations, reporting, and business development efforts that strengthen relationships and expand legal service opportunities.
• Collaborate with colleagues across teams and offices to share knowledge, coordinate on client needs, and uphold a high standard of legal service.
Qualifications:
• Juris Doctor degree required.
• Active membership in at least one U.S. state bar or the District of Columbia bar.
• At least 2 years of attorney-level experience with business or employment-based immigration matters.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience handling high-volume filings in core visa categories such as H-1B, L-1A, PERM, and Adjustment of Status.
• Strong legal writing, document drafting, and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex issues clearly and accurately.
• Excellent analytical judgment, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability in a deadline-driven environment.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively while delivering responsive, client-focused service.
• Familiarity with immigration case management platforms such as VisaTrax, LawLogix, or comparable systems is preferred.
