Immigration Attorney Who Loves Casework at Growing L.A. Firm

Blaker & Granet LLP • Full-time • Remote (Los Angeles, California, United States) • $120k - $160k / year • 1m ago

Do you love immigration casework?

Do you enjoy drafting, preparing, assembling, and filing cases, not just doing supervisory and review work? Do you know how to get the job done flawlessly and with a positive attitude?

Blaker & Granet LLP (B&G), an LGBTQ+- and woman-owned immigration law firm in Century City, L.A., is looking for an Associate Attorney with 4+ years of business immigration experience to join their friendly and hardworking firm.

This is a role for an attorney who takes immense pride in their work and thrives on being the person others rely on. You will own the full lifecycle of cases from inception to filing, initially under the supervision of B&G partners, but eventually autonomously. You will not be supervising paralegals or legal assistants, though this position has the potential to grow into a supervisory role. The environment is fast-paced with a huge emphasis on client satisfaction.

You will likely be a perfect fit if:

Precision is your baseline: You understand that in legal work, a small typo can have outsized consequences.
You own your outcomes: You don’t wait for a nudge; you see a need and fill it.
You crave growth: You are ready to handle the responsibility that comes with growth, including drafting, compiling, and managing immigration cases and clients.

Here’s the important info about the role:

Salary Range: $120K/year to $160K/year, depending on experience and demonstrated value. 15% origination bonus for work brought in and serviced during tenure.
Work Location: Hybrid role 3 days in-office per week in a casual, dog-friendly Century City office with team members who work hard but are also down to discuss the latest episode of Real Housewives or the newest T-Swift album (or upcoming nuptials). Parking provided. B&G strongly prefers candidates who can work 3 days in-office per week but is open to remote opportunities for the right candidate.
Benefits: Health, vision, and dental insurance, 401(k) with matching employer amounts, PTO, and sick leave. Also: free breakfast, coffee, snacks, monthly team lunches, and team events (B&G loves an escape room).
Education + Bar Admission: JD from an accredited school and U.S. bar admission in good standing (any U.S. state).
Start Date: ASAP (with the understanding that currently employed candidates will need to give notice).
The-Day-to-Day Work: Review eligibility, analyze, draft, compile, and file NIV and IV case types including H-1Bs, E-2s, E-3, TNs, J-1s, L-1s, O-1s, Ps, EB-1/2/3s (including NIWs), I-130s, IV Consular Processing, AOS, and PERMs. Communicate daily with clients and respond to all emails and phone calls within one business day. Update case management system (BlueDot). Provide unparalleled client service to help maintain and increase the firm's 140+ 5-star reviews on Google.
Preferred:Experience with Google Workspace, Adobe, and BlueDot.

At B&G, every team member is critical to the firm’s workflow and is expected to be a high performer. They expect excellence as a baseline.
