Are you a solo practitioner who loves the immigration casework (O-1As, EB-1As, NIWs) but not the marketing and constant business development?
Do you love the nitty-gritty of case prep for O-1As and EB-1As as well as meeting with prospective clients in the entrepreneurial and tech space to discuss strategy? But not the neverending business challenge to keep up a steady stream of incoming work?
Tukki, a legal tech startup headquartered in Miami, Florida, is seeking a fully remote Immigration Attorney with 5 to 8 years of experience to work as a fulltime contractor with a pay range of $130K/year to $150K/year.
It’s a unique arrangement and will likely be best suited to a solo practitioner with their practice already in place who thrives at legal work and excels with client communications but would like steady work. The Immigration Attorney in this role will maintain their own independence to make legal decisions and provide legal advice to clients.
While the Immigration Attorney in this role will focus on managing the preparation and filing of O-1As and EB-1As, and will be heavily supported by the Tukki sales team, the Immigration Attorney must have strong people and sales skills to “close the deal” with new clients.
As Immigration Attorney, you will oversee the preparation of casework by Tukki’s team of paralegals and approve the filing of EB-1As and O-1s all while using Tukki’s extraordinary proprietary technology platform for case and client management.
Here is important information about the role:
- Work Location: 100% fully remote. (There may be optional in-person team meetups throughout the year.)
- Salary Range: $130K/year to $150K/year, depending on qualifications and experience.
- Timezone: Must be available to work Eastern Time as needed.
- Benefits: 20 flex PTO days plus additional end-of-year holiday PTO as well as equity.
- Start Date: As soon as possible. You will begin with managing/drafting one case and conducting initial client consultations before a full-time contract is signed to ensure a good fit for both sides.
More About You
You have 5 to 8 years of immigration experience with both routine and complex EB-1As and O-1As, a deep understanding of U.S. immigration law, and can set legal strategies and efficiently conduct case reviews.
What else? You are:
- Open to Doing and Thinking Differently: While as an attorney you will maintain your own independence to make legal decisions and provide legal advice, you acknowledge the challenges and inefficiencies in the immigration law industry. You are excited to do things differently than a traditional law firm.
- Flexible: You are a team player and are willing to jump into action, make quick decisions, and be hands-on with case prep and filing when necessary.
- A Strong Coach and Mentor: You enjoy training and mentoring paralegals and team members, and are willing to coach team members in a supportive way that brings out their best.
- Empathetic: You are empathetic and can establish good rapport and connections with team members and clients. You manage and set realistic client expectations while being committed to excellent client service.
In addition to the above, you are comfortable reading and comprehending complex materials across different industries, are committed to constantly improving your performance and the team’s performance, and are excited about incorporating new tech and tools into your practice to enhance the client experience. In this role, you will also provide feedback on improving Tukki’s case management system.

What Makes Tukki Different from a Traditional Law Firm?
Tukki is highly tech enabled and has created a platform that automates much of the process and helps attorneys be significantly more efficient. In turn, this allows attorneys to:
- Do the work they love doing.
- Be more efficient and achieve way more by doing less.
- Work offline, instead of constant check-ins and meetings.
Tukki is not just another law firm or legal provider. Tukki was born to redefine the immigration industry and to make things differently. This is not a startup with good marketing that under the hood does everything exactly the same as a traditional immigration law office. Tukki does everything through their software and they work very differently. They intend to keep growing and become a significant player in this industry.
