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.
For Practice Leaders, a competitive base salary sets your floor, while profit-sharing removes the ceiling, with a higher rate on self-originated matters than on Manifest-sourced cases. This role is designed for attorneys who bring established corporate client relationships and want a platform built to grow them. If you have a team you trust, we’d welcome the conversation about bringing them with you.
● 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 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.
● J.D. and active U.S. bar admission
● 10+ years of employment-based immigration experience across a broad range of NIV and IV 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
Every Manifest attorney — and every practice they lead — is held to the same floor: aggressive SLAs, rigorous legal quality, and the proactive client communication that HR and legal teams pay a premium to trust. That standard doesn't flex with case source or volume.
● 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.
We're looking for attorneys who lead through expertise, treat Manifest's technology as a genuine performance multiplier rather than a shortcut, and want to do the most meaningful work of their careers.
The attorneys who thrive here are full-time, deeply client-centered, tech-forward, and mission-driven — energized by building something real, not just joining something finished. If that's you, we want to hear from you.
Compensation & Pay Transparency
Manifest is a remote-first firm, and this role is open to candidates in the United States. The good-faith salary range for this position is $185K–$250K USD. This range reflects base compensation and may not include bonus, equity, or other components of total compensation. For Practice Leads, the base salary ensures your floor, while profit-sharing incentives remove the ceiling on your potential. Profit-sharing incentives offer a higher rate for self-originated matters than for Manifest-sourced cases. Actual pay is determined by a range of factors, including but not limited to the candidate's location, experience, education, and skills, as well as the specific scope of the role. Candidates outside of the United States are welcome to apply, and compensation will be assessed according to regional models.
Manifest uses AI-powered tools to support administrative aspects of our recruitment process, such as organizing applications and surfacing candidate information for review. Some interviews may also be recorded and transcribed using an AI note-taking tool, used solely to support accurate note-taking — it does not score, analyze, or evaluate candidates in any way. These tools do not make hiring decisions, and no candidate is advanced, screened out, or otherwise dispositioned without review by a member of our human recruiting team. You are welcome to ask any interviewer for a non-recorded conversation instead. If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative application process at any stage, please contact your recruiter.
