(B2C) Immigration Associate – Strategic Consultations – All Levels (EB-1, EB-2 NIW/O-1)

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 - Serve as the face of your pod and the first Manifest attorney many prospective clients speak to: run consultations, assess case strength, and recommend the right path forward for extraordinary-ability and high-skilled matters — EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1A. - Use your legal judgment to assess which prospects have viable cases, build trust quickly, and set honest, clear expectations before a matter moves forward — including telling a prospect diplomatically when their profile isn't yet a fit. - Run a high volume of consultations and represent Manifest publicly where relevant, from live Q&As to client-facing content, with marketing's support. - Transition engaged clients smoothly into case production, instilling confidence in the handoff to the attorneys and paralegals who will carry the matter forward. - Use Manifest's AI tools and technology — not as a shortcut, but as a genuine performance multiplier — to support consistent, high-quality assessments at volume. - Capture clear, complete consultation notes and recommendations in Manifest's systems so nothing is lost in the handoff. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - J.D. and active U.S. bar admission - Strong working knowledge of extraordinary-ability and high-skilled categories, including EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1A - Genuine warmth and sales instinct — you build client trust as quickly and naturally as you demonstrate legal expertise - Energy for high-volume, day-to-day client contact: you're energized rather than drained by a full consult calendar - Clear, confident communication — you explain complex legal concepts in plain language and make clients feel heard, even when the news is that their case isn't a fit - Comfort in a high-cadence environment with real volume expectations WHAT CHANGES BY LEVEL - HIRING LEVEL DEPENDS ON CURRENT BUSINESS NEEDS Associate (Yrs 0–3) - Focus: Confidently runs consultations with prospective clients, explains the visa path clearly, assesses case fit, and guides prospective clients toward the right decision, with direct mentorship from senior attorneys.
