As part of a significant expansion of the business/employment practice we are expanding the team and seek an experienced business immigration attorney (2-5 years)  to join our group.  This is an unusual opportunity to practice corporate immigration law as part of a cohesive team, within an established multi-practice firm; to work closely with senior partners; and directly with an impressive list of clients sourced from diverse practice areas.  Ours is an administrative law specialty (a subset of employment law) that involves detailed analysis of eligibility under alternate categories, and preparation of clear, concise, well-written, persuasive submissions to the administrative agencies that secure work authorization or residence, and/or support and justify the relief sought under the facts and the law. Accordingly, the work requires the ability to analyze statutes, regulations, memoranda, guidelines, and prepare compelling legal documents for submission to the appropriate agency(ies). This would include performing research as needed and writing a persuasive case to support the petition submitted for the category sought, that will result in work authorization, extension of work authorization, non-immigrant status, or permanent residence for a foreign national transferring to the US pursuant to employment. Work would also include advice with and consultation to employers on a number of diverse employment matters, including hiring, termination, reorganization, retention, and regulatory compliance (I-9 audits; E-Verify and Wage and Hour issues) relating to the employment of foreign nationals in a variety of situations. The petitions are all employment based, so a background in corporate governance and/or tax is helpful to understand the corporate relationships that are the basis for some categories. For the highly motivated attorney, this is stable position, in a collegial office, in which the attorney will work with partners who are well recognized for excellence in the field, be paid fairly, (with benefits) have reasonable working hours and receive rigorous training in writing, research, and agency practice. The best fit would be someone with a background in H-1B, L, TN, J, E and RFEs or trained in regulatory analysis (tax or UCC, perhaps in health care) with associated experience in research and writing from the standpoint of exacting interpretation of agency regulations and guidelines who possesses prior business immigration experience.
