Immigration Attorney – Corporate & Global Mobility

We’re partnering with a global advisory organization seeking an Immigration Attorney to join its growing immigration and global mobility practice. This role is ideal for an attorney who enjoys business-focused, advisory work and wants to step away from traditional law-firm billable structures while still handling sophisticated immigration matters.

The Role

You’ll work closely with companies, founders, executives, and international teams to provide strategic immigration guidance in cross-border and corporate contexts. The work is consultative and client-facing, with close collaboration across tax, accounting, and business advisory teams.

This is not a litigation role and does not involve removal defense.

Responsibilities

  • Advise clients on employment-based immigration matters, including H-1B, L-1, O-1, E-2, and permanent residence pathways

  • Support corporate immigration and global mobility initiatives for companies and executives

  • Counsel founders and leadership teams on immigration strategy tied to business growth and international operations

  • Coordinate immigration planning with tax and business advisors to deliver holistic solutions

  • Oversee and manage filings, timelines, and compliance matters

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to clients on complex, cross-border immigration issues

Qualifications

  • J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school

  • Active U.S. bar admission (FL, NY, or MA)

  • Experience in employment-based and corporate immigration

  • Strong client-facing and advisory skills

  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment

  • Interest in international, cross-border, and business-focused work

Nice to Have

  • Experience advising startups, growth companies, or multinational clients

  • Exposure to global mobility or cross-border business matters

  • Portuguese or Spanish language skills (not required)

Compensation

  • Base salary: $140,000 – $190,000, depending on experience

  • Bonus potential and long-term growth opportunities

Why This Opportunity

  • No traditional law-firm billable hour pressure

  • Advisory-focused work with real business impact

  • Hybrid schedule with flexibility for remote work

  • International and cross-border exposure

  • Collaborative, modern professional environment

  • Opportunity for long-term growth into senior advisory or leadership roles
