What You'll Do
• As a Manifest Attorney, you guide clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives and carry matters forward to the outcome they need. Owning a matter from handoff through final submission, building the legal strategy, and managing every milestone.
• The opportunity to work across a variety of immigration cases or focus on your specialty - H-1B, L-1A/B, TN, E-1/E-2/E-3, O-1A, EB-1C, EB-2 NIW, and PERM labor certification - clients could range from funded startups to large enterprises, with complexity and autonomy that scale with your experience.
• In a strategic consulting capacity: use your legal judgment to assess which prospects have legitimate cases, build trust quickly, and set honest, clear expectations.
• In a case management (production) capacity: manage the client relationship through the life of the case and work with the paralegals in your team on document collection, organization, and filing logistics so your time stays on strategy and outcomes.
• Advise clients directly on petition strategy, RFE response, and compliance obligations - including managing high-volume employer accounts, HR contacts, and deadlines.
• Use Manifest's AI tools and technology to support case quality and efficiency in either mode - not as a shortcut, but as a genuine performance multiplier.
What We're Looking For
• J.D. and active U.S. bar admission

• Clear, confident communication - you explain complex legal concepts in plain language and make HR contacts and beneficiaries feel supported
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy - you document thoroughly and hand off cleanly
• Comfort in a high-cadence environment with real volume expectations
Mid-Senior Level Associate (Yrs 4-7)

Why Attorneys Join Manifest
• 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.

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 $115K - $190K USD. This range reflects base compensation and may not include bonus, equity, or other components of total compensation. 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.

Our Use of AI in Recruiting
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.
