Description:

Manifest Law is one of the first AI-native corporate immigration firms in the country, and one of the fastest-growing — proof that attorneys want to practice law this way. Our attorneys handle sophisticated, high-stakes matters, with technology that removes the busywork rather than replacing the lawyer.

Manifest was built to offer the best of both worlds: the scale of a larger firm with the quality client service of a boutique. Manifest OS — the technology that powers the firm — carries the operational weight, so our attorneys spend their time where it actually matters: on strategy, on judgment, on the client in front of them. The result is a practice with the care of a boutique and the capability of a large firm.

We think the practice of law should be a craft, and the attorneys who do it well deserve a practice that grows with them — supported by technology, not replaced by it, with the time and autonomy to build something that's genuinely their own. We're building the kind of institution attorneys are proud to put on their résumé.

This is a firm for attorneys who want more from their career: real ownership of your cases, the kind of client relationships that come from having time with them, a sustainable pace, and a front-row seat in building what a modern immigration practice can look like.

Immigration law has been done the same way for decades. We're here to raise the bar, and we're hiring the people who will raise it with us.

What You'll Do:

As a Manifest Attorney, you guide clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives and carry matters forward to the outcome they need. Owning a matter from handoff through final submission, building the legal strategy, and managing every milestone.
Work across the full employer immigration spectrum or focus on your specialty — H-1B, L-1A/B, TN, E-1/E-2/E-3, O-1A, EB-1C, EB-2 NIW, and PERM labor certification — clients could range from funded startups to large enterprises, with complexity and autonomy that scale with your experience.
In a strategic consulting capacity: use your legal judgment to assess which prospects have legitimate cases, build trust quickly, and set honest, clear expectations before a matter moves forward.
In a case management (production) capacity: manage the client relationship through the life of the case and manage the paralegals in your pod on document collection, organization, and filing logistics so your time stays on strategy and outcomes.
Advise employers and employees directly on petition strategy, RFE response, and compliance obligations — including managing high-volume employer accounts, HR contacts, and deadlines.
Use Manifest's AI tools and technology to support case quality and efficiency in either mode — not as a shortcut, but as a genuine performance multiplier.

What We're Looking For:

J.D. and active U.S. bar admission
Strong working knowledge of employment-based immigration, including NIV and IV matters – for example: H-1B, L-1A/B, TN, E-3, O-1A, EB-1C, EB-2 NIW, and PERM labor certification
Clear, confident communication — you explain complex legal concepts in plain language and make HR contacts and beneficiaries feel supported
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy — you document thoroughly and hand off cleanly
Comfort in a high-cadence environment with real volume expectations
