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:
  • Lead a pod, owning everything it produces and everyone who produces it — across extraordinary-ability and high-skilled matters, including EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1A.
  • Carry second-chair, senior-level review on cases before filing, setting the quality bar for your pod rather than carrying your own independent caseload.
  • Develop and coach the consulting and production attorneys in your pod: setting the standard, reviewing the hard calls, and growing people toward their next level.
  • Own pod-level quality and output as a single unit — you're accountable for both the volume your pod produces and the standard it produces at.
  • Retain and motivate talent so attorneys grow, do their best work, and want to stay.
  • Set the pace and model Manifest's values, spreading tech, speed, and innovation through how your pod actually works day to day.
  • Partner with firm leadership to grow the Manifest brand, align your pod to firm culture and standards, and work with the talent team on referrals and network-building.

What We're Looking For:
  • J.D. and active U.S. bar admission
  • 10+ years of experience with deep expertise across extraordinary-ability and high-skilled visa categories (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1A), plus broader business immigration (H-1B, L-1, PERM) — enough mastery to set the quality bar and coach others, even though you won't be producing cases yourself
  • A track record of leading and growing attorneys: you've managed people, raised their performance, and been measured on team outcomes rather than your individual docket
  • Strong judgment on case strategy and quality — you can review work, catch what's weak, and tell an attorney how to make it stronger
  • Comfort in a high-cadence, high-growth environment where you're accountable for a pod's throughput and quality as a unit
  • You treat Manifest's AI tools and technology as a genuine performance multiplier and push your pod to do the same
