We are seeking a licensed attorney with two or more years of experience for an Associate Attorney position. This is a unique opportunity for an attorney to join one of the preeminent immigration law firms in the country.

Our work is done in a variety of forums, such as the Immigration Courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, USCIS, ICE, CBP, and the federal courts, both at the district court and the appellate court levels.

Our firm is currently engaged in litigation on multiple fronts defending immigrants’ rights, by challenging the unlawful actions that threaten our clients.

We are looking for someone who is interested in working and learning in a cutting-edge, diverse, and complex immigration law practice. We continue to value in-person relationships and collaboration. This is therefore a hybrid position. Attorneys are expected to come into the office on a regular basis.
