[Hiring] Senior Business Immigration Attorney @Manifest Law

Role Description

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 the enterprise client relationships and large-scale program management that define the practice — companies 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 own network alongside Manifest's marketing 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 genuine performance multiplier for your team.
• Own pod profitability directly: your compensation is built around the health of the practice you run, not a fixed docket.

Qualifications

• J.D. and active U.S. bar admission
• 10+ years of employment-based immigration experience across H-1B, L-1, PERM, E-1/E-2, TN, EB-1, NIW, O-1 and related categories
• Experience owning 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 run through Manifest OS — the administrative weight of practice is reduced. Your day goes to strategy, drafting, and the client.
• No billable hour: We charge clients flat fees, so there's no timekeeping requirement and no billable target. Your work is judged on outcomes — what gets filed and how clients experience the relationship — not hours recorded.
• Remote by design: The legal side of the firm works remotely. It's how the firm was built, and there are no plans to change it — practice from wherever you do your best work.
• Real upside: Pay is competitive from day one, with incentives tied to client outcomes and firm performance, so strong work is rewarded as the practice grows.
• Ground floor: Manifest is an ambitious firm building the infrastructure to last — and to change the way law firms operate. Attorneys who join now grow with it: into senior roles, into leadership, into shaping what the practice becomes next.
• Your experience shapes the practice: Attorney feedback and firsthand case experience directly inform what the firm builds next, so the technology keeps evolving around how the best lawyers actually work.
