Business Immigration Attorney & Team Manager

Klug Law Firm PLLC | Full-time | Fully remote

Are you an experienced business immigration attorney who enjoys both practicing law and helping a team succeed?

Klug Law Firm is seeking an attorney with proven success leading teams, managing people, and taking ownership of monthly team goals, supported by strong business immigration experience and sound legal judgment. You will work directly with corporate clients, handle substantive immigration matters, and lead a team of three paralegals, including a senior paralegal.

This role combines approximately equal parts legal work and team management. It is a good fit for someone who enjoys solving complex legal problems, developing people, and keeping work moving through competing priorities.

About our firm

Klug Law Firm is a boutique business immigration firm headquartered in New York City, serving clients throughout the United States and internationally. Our team includes professionals with experience at leading corporate immigration firms.

Our work rests on three pillars: Highest Quality Legal Work, Exceptional Client Service, and a Caring Approach. We seek a colleague who brings those principles to client relationships and to the way they lead their team.

What you will do

• Lead, coach, and develop your paralegal team, setting clear expectations and providing timely, constructive feedback.
• Take responsibility for monthly team filing goals while maintaining legal quality, accuracy, and responsive client service.
• Plan workloads, monitor progress, identify obstacles early, and take practical action when work falls behind.
• Address performance issues directly and fairly, with support from our Director of Operations.
• Develop case strategies and prepare, review, and oversee business immigration petitions and applications, including H-1B, L-1, PERM, and related nonimmigrant and immigrant matters.
• Advise clients on eligibility, filing strategies, timelines, and immigration developments.
• Build strong client relationships through clear communication and dependable follow-through.
• Counsel clients on corporate immigration policies, I-9 and E-Verify compliance, and the PERM labor certification process.
• Stay current on relevant law, policy, and agency practices.

You will have support from a senior paralegal who helps coordinate daily workflows and from our Director of Operations. You will remain accountable for your team’s legal work, people management, and results.

What we are looking for

• A J.D. from a U.S. law school and active membership in good standing with a U.S. state bar.
• At least five years of substantive business immigration experience, including strong, recent hands-on experience with H-1B, L-1, and PERM matters.
• Experience across a broader range of business immigration matters, such as E visas, TN, O-1, I-140, EB-1, and adjustment of status.
• At least two years of directly managing a team with responsibility for specific monthly numerical goals.
• Evidence that you can develop people, manage competing deadlines, and improve results when a team encounters difficulties.
• Strong legal writing, attention to detail, and client communication skills.
• Resourcefulness, sound judgment, and a strong work ethic: you identify problems, propose solutions, and follow through.
• A record of sustained ownership and meaningful contributions in prior roles.
• A caring, professional approach to clients and colleagues.

Experience working successfully in a fully remote environment and familiarity with INSZoom are preferred.
