• Communicate professionally with clients, including executives and internationally recognized professionals.
• Demonstrate empathy in client communications while maintaining professionalism.
• Answer questions from clients and internal team members in accordance with ethical guidelines for paralegals.
• Utilize our case management systems and productivity tools, including Microsoft Office and ClickUp.
• Assist in training materials for internal staff and client education.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 1–3 years of business immigration paralegal experience (corporate immigration focus required).
• Professionalism: Ability to accept feedback, learn quickly, and maintain a high standard of professionalism.
• Tech Readiness: Comfortable learning new systems; enthusiasm for technology and process improvement.
• Team Orientation: Positive, reliable, and committed to contributing to a collaborative team culture.
• Time Management: Able to prioritize effectively, meet deadlines, and manage a high caseload.
• Client Focus: Understanding of the urgency and stress surrounding immigration processes and commitment to responsive, compassionate service.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to sit for extended periods, type on a keyboard, and perform repetitive tasks.
• Ability to hear, see, speak clearly, and interact effectively in a standard office setting.
• Capability to reach, stoop, kneel, or crouch to access files or office materials.
• Ability to move between floors and work in a moderately noisy office environment.
• Must be able to remain focused and productive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• Requires the ability to manage shifting priorities, strict deadlines, and evolving workloads while maintaining accuracy and professionalism.
• Requires emotional resilience, sound judgment, and the ability to remain composed in high-stress or time-sensitive situations.
• Paid Time Off: 22 PTO days + 13 holidays
• Health: Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• Retirement: 401(k) with profit-sharing

Why Join Us

• We are a nationally and internationally recognized leading immigration law firm, proudly serving clients since 1986. Our reputation is built on decades of success and a deep commitment to client service and innovation. You'll be part of a team that values integrity, mentorship, and continuous growth.
