Senior Business Immigration Attorney – Practice Lead/Owner, B2B, Corporate Practice

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take the lead in managing Manifest's corporate immigration practice for a diverse portfolio of employer clients — including H-1B, L-1, PERM, E-1/E-2, and the wider employer-immigration landscape — with full accountability for its growth, quality, and profitability.

• Cultivate and maintain enterprise client relationships and oversee large-scale program management that defines the practice — companies choose Manifest because of the trust they place in you.

• Propel business development and marketing efforts for your practice, expanding existing accounts and acquiring new ones through your own network in conjunction with Manifest's business development engine.

• Build and lead a team: recruit, mentor, and ensure attorneys meet Manifest's standards in both consultations and case production.

• Leverage Manifest's AI-driven platform — featuring automated workflows, intelligent draft reviews, and a centralized case-context hub — to significantly enhance your team's performance.

• Directly manage pod profitability: your compensation is linked to the health of the practice you oversee, rather than a fixed docket.

⛳️ Requirements

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and active admission to a U.S. bar.

• Over 10 years of experience in employer-side immigration matters, specifically in H-1B, L-1, PERM, E-1/E-2, and related categories.

• Proven experience managing enterprise client relationships from start to finish — beyond just individual cases.

• A history of leading or developing legal teams, with clear accountability for the outcomes of those teams.

• Comfort with public visibility — engaging in thought leadership, maintaining a social presence, attending client events — along with a professional network in HR, Legal, or People Operations circles.

• A strong desire to establish and run a practice, rather than merely staffing one.

🏝️ Benefits

• Higher-agency work | Intake, document collection, status tracking, and client updates are managed through Manifest OS — all administrative tasks are taken care of, allowing you to focus on strategy, drafting, and client interactions: the work that truly requires a lawyer.

• No billable hour | We charge clients flat fees, eliminating the need for timekeeping and setting billable targets. Your performance is evaluated based on outcomes — the filings made and the quality of the client relationship — not the hours logged.

• Remote by design | The entire legal division of the firm operates remotely. This structure is integral to the firm’s foundation, with no plans for change — practice from wherever you excel the most.

• Real upside | Compensation is competitive from day one, with incentives linked to client outcomes and overall firm performance, ensuring that strong contributions are rewarded as the practice expands.

• Ground floor | Manifest is a forward-thinking firm developing infrastructure for sustainability — transforming how law firms operate. Attorneys who join now have the opportunity to grow into senior roles, leadership positions, and influence the future direction of the practice.

• Your experience shapes the practice | Feedback from attorneys and direct case experiences play a crucial role in guiding the firm’s future developments, ensuring that technology continuously evolves in alignment with how top lawyers operate.
