Haraka Headhunters LLC is a legal search firm specializing in attorney placements. We are currently working with a boutique immigration law firm in Brooklyn, New York, that serves marquee clients in Fin Tech, tech, finance, hedge funds, commodities trading, and high-profile startups (including household names). The firm is experiencing exponential growth and is seeking to add a senior business immigration attorney.

Ideally, 4+ years of business immigration experience handling employment-based and high-skill nonimmigrant and immigrant visa matters, including experience with at least several of the following:

• H-1B specialty occupations
• L-1 intracompany transfers
• Experience with EB-1 (Extraordinary Ability), O-1, or other writing-intensive high-skill petitions is a plus (though not required, as the firm has dedicated legal writing support).
• Recent experience managing complex caseloads, client interaction, or mentoring juniors is advantageous. The role involves direct client engagement with prestigious New York-based and national clients expecting high-level, responsive service.

• JD or LLM degree from a US ABA-accredited law school
• Admitted and in good standing with any U.S. State Bar (New York Bar preferred but not required, as immigration law is federal; NJ or other bars acceptable)

• Marquee clientele (prestigious Fin Tech firms, major tech companies, hedge funds, household-name brands, and exciting AI/tech startups)
• Hybrid work model:
  Strong preference for tri-state area base, with only 1-2 in-office days per week required (some flexibility for exceptional remote candidates; one current attorney is West Coast-based)
• Supportive team structure: 2 partners, COO, 4 associate attorneys, 1 full-time legal writer (licensed attorney), 4 full-time paralegals, additional part-time admins, and a law clerk (near 1:1 attorney-to-support staff ratio)
• Positive culture:
  Kind, collaborative team with a “no a-holes” policy; most attorneys work ~45 hours/week (rarely exceeding 50); dog-friendly office;
  Google Drive-based workflow
• Work you can be proud of:
  High standards, excellent client service, opportunities for growth (young firm with partnership potential in the future)
• Comprehensive benefits: including health insurance (via PEO), 401(k) with match (details ~3-4%; confirm upon inquiry), and self-managed PTO with recommended minimums based on tenure (e.g., 12-25 days suggested + 11-12 holidays)
• Year-end bonus potential (based on firm profitability, exceeding billing goals, and origination; example: recent departing attorney received $11,000 bonus; 20% origination credit if you bring in and service business, or 10% if originating only)
• No strict billable hour quotas or penalties (soft billing goals used for workload distribution and salary support)

• We are offering a $500 referral bonus if you refer an attorney to us who is hired by our client.
