[Hiring] Contract Immigration Attorney @Manifest Law

Role Description

This role is built for attorneys who are serious about their craft and serious about what they earn — with the experience to take real ownership from day one.

Manifest Law is engaging contract Immigration Attorneys for our individual practice. You'll work on individual immigration matters with caseload complexity and autonomy that scales with your experience:

• O-1
• EB-1A
• EB-2 NIW
• H-1B
• Family-based
• Marriage-based

You're paid per case, not per hour or per year. What doesn't scale is the standard.

What makes this different:

• Automated workflows manage attorney ↔ paralegal ↔ client handoffs so you're never the bottleneck.
• Smart draft tracking evaluates your filings against quality benchmarks and decision patterns — you get a feedback loop that actually makes you better.
• Unified context hub pulls every email, meeting note, and portal update into one place — full case context, always, without digging.

You practice law. The platform handles the rest — so every hour you put in goes toward billable, case-advancing work.

How the model works:

• This is pay-per-case. You set your own caseload intensity, and your earnings move with it.
• Take a focused, selective docket and earn a strong, predictable per-case income.
• Run an aggressive docket and your earnings climb fast — attorneys working at volume can reach $200K–$300K+.
• The lever is yours — with one condition: every case you take is worked at Manifest's standard.

The path is explicit:

• Experienced attorneys grow into full case ownership and sharpen their client instincts.
• Senior attorneys operate with full autonomy, take on higher-complexity (higher-fee) matters, and mentor colleagues.
• The destination, for attorneys who want it, is Practice Ownership — your own team, your own book, backed by the platform — earning $200K–$1M+.

Qualifications

• Mid-Level (4–6 years): Experience with employment-based or extraordinary ability petitions, comfort with direct client communication, and the drive to take real ownership of your matters.
• Senior (6+ years): Deep expertise in O-1, EB-1A, and/or EB-2 NIW strategy, the ability to mentor junior attorneys, and the appetite to run a high-volume, high-quality docket.

Requirements

• Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney.
• J.D. and active U.S. bar admission.
• Full commitment to Manifest's SLAs and quality standards — non-negotiable.
• Self-motivation and ownership mindset.
• A communication standard clients notice and remember.
• Ability to work as an independent contractor (1099).

Benefits

• Compensation: Pay per case. Per-matter fees scale with complexity and experience. No cap — your earnings track your output and quality.
