Role Overview

We’re looking for a seasoned Paralegal specializing in Labor & Employment and Immigration to support a high-performing legal team. This role operates at the intersection of compliance, litigation, and corporate legal operations—ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and brings depth (not breadth) in employment-based immigration and employment law.

Key Responsibilities

Immigration & Compliance

• Track and manage immigration petitions (e.g., USCIS filings)
• Monitor case lifecycle and ensure timely documentation submissions

Litigation & Legal Operations

• Provide end-to-end litigation support (case files, evidence, coordination)
• Draft responses to subpoenas and employment record requests
• Manage document preservation processes and systems

Employment Law Support

• Assist with policies, handbooks, agreements, and internal legal frameworks
• Support matters related to wage/hour, leaves, accommodations, and workplace issues

Research & Stakeholder Management

• Conduct legal research across employment and immigration topics
• Partner with outside counsel (invoices, budgets, coordination)

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of Paralegal experience (corporate/in-house preferred)
• Strong expertise in U.S. employment-based immigration
• Proven experience in labor & employment law
• Ability to manage multiple cases in a high-volume environment
• Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills
• High level of discretion and professionalism

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with eDiscovery
• Exposure to project or change management initiatives

Ideal Candidate Profile (Manager Insights)

• Proactive, curious, and ownership-driven
• Not a generalist—deep specialization in immigration + employment law
• Confident communicator on legal topics (not entry-level)
• Strong prioritization and decision-making capability
• Clear articulation of career progression and employment gaps
