Immigration Attorney; EB​/O​/NIW Focus

Overview

Business Immigration Attorney — EB-1 / O-1 / NIW Focus

New York City (In-Office/Hybrid)

A Manhattan immigration boutique is seeking an attorney whose strength is writing and case strategy across employment-based petitions.

This is not a removal defense, asylum, or family-based role.

This is a position for an attorney who personally drafts EB-1, O-1, NIW, and PERM petitions and enjoys the legal analysis behind complex eligibility issues.

You will:

• Draft EB-1, O-1, NIW, and PERM petitions from scratch
• Write legal arguments and RFE/NOID responses yourself
• Analyze complex fact patterns and develop petition strategy
• Work directly with partners in a writing-driven, boutique environment
• Manage matters end-to-end with minimal delegation

This is a low-volume, high-analysis practice. Writing quality matters more than case count.

• 3–8 years of employment-based immigration experience
• Direct authorship of EB-1, O-1, NIW, and PERM filings
• Comfortable drafting complex legal arguments independently
• New York Bar admission

• Boutique practice where writing and judgment drive the work
• Emphasis on legal analysis, not production quotas
• Long-term growth within a respected immigration platform

Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience.

Salary range expected to fall within $95,000–$175,000
, depending on background and level.

Comprehensive benefits and a professional, stable work environment consistent with a boutique Manhattan law practice.

If your strength is writing EB-1 / O-1 / NIW petitions, this role is worth a conversation.

If your background is primarily removal defense or family-based immigration, this role will not be a fit.
