The posting

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Lead BIA & Post-Filing Attorney based in the United States.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced immigration attorney to take on a senior legal leadership role within a fast-growing immigration law practice. You will oversee appellate strategies and post-filing immigration matters, ensuring high-quality legal representation and procedural compliance. Combining legal expertise with team leadership, you will guide attorneys, support paralegals, and drive consistency across complex immigration cases. With a reduced individual caseload, you will have the opportunity to focus on legal strategy, quality assurance, mentoring, and operational improvements. You will work closely with removal-defense attorneys and legal operations teams to ensure effective case coordination and timely filings. This role is ideal for a collaborative legal professional passionate about immigration advocacy, professional development, and making a meaningful difference in clients' lives.

Accountabilities:

  • Lead legal strategy for Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) matters and related post-decision proceedings, including identifying legal issues, evaluating standards of review, preserving arguments, and determining appropriate procedural options.
  • Supervise the preparation, drafting, and quality review of notices of appeal, appellate briefs, motions, supporting documentation, and other legal filings.
  • Monitor filing deadlines, briefing schedules, jurisdictional requirements, and procedural developments to ensure timely and compliant submissions.
  • Advise attorneys on motions to reopen, motions to reconsider, and other post-decision or post-filing immigration proceedings within the team's scope.
  • Coordinate with removal-defense attorneys and case teams to obtain relevant records, verify litigation history, and maintain consistent legal strategies throughout each case.
  • Maintain a reduced personal caseload to prioritize strategic oversight, legal quality control, mentoring, and support for complex or escalated matters.
  • Provide day-to-day legal guidance to Associate Attorneys and functional oversight to paralegals and legal assistants.
  • Review legal work product for accuracy, completeness, legal sufficiency, procedural compliance, and adherence to professional responsibility standards.
  • Act as the primary escalation point for complex legal matters, changes in case strategy, procedural challenges, and potential ethical or legal risks.
  • Monitor case progress, workload distribution, filing deadlines, and quality performance to identify operational challenges and recommend improvements.
  • Collaborate with lead paralegals and operations leadership on staffing, caseload allocation, workflow optimization, and training initiatives.
  • Mentor and onboard attorneys, provide constructive performance feedback, and promote consistent legal practices across the team.
  • Participate in leadership meetings and collaborate with legal and operational stakeholders to address escalations and strengthen departmental processes.
  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school.
  • Active bar membership in good standing in a jurisdiction relevant to the assigned responsibilities.
  • 3–5 years of professional immigration law experience, including substantial experience in the relevant practice area.
  • 1–2 years of people-management, supervisory, or team leadership experience.
  • Strong practical knowledge of immigration appeals, Board of Immigration Appeals procedures, legal research, appellate brief writing, and post-decision or post-filing immigration practice.
  • Demonstrated experience developing legal strategies, managing complex cases, and reviewing the work of other attorneys.
  • Excellent legal writing, research, analytical reasoning, and communication skills.
  • Strong understanding of procedural requirements, filing deadlines, jurisdictional considerations, and professional responsibility obligations.
  • Proven ability to provide constructive feedback, mentor legal professionals, and support the professional development of attorneys and legal support staff.
  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and ensure timely case progression.
  • Strong professional judgment and the ability to identify, assess, and appropriately escalate complex legal and ethical risks.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with geographically distributed attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and operational teams.
  • Experience with Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) litigation, motions practice, complex procedural analysis, and coordination between trial-level and appellate teams is preferred.
  • Previous experience supervising remote or geographically distributed legal teams and implementing legal quality-control processes is an advantage.
  • Opportunity to join a rapidly growing immigration law practice recognized for its workplace culture and professional growth.
  • Leadership position with meaningful influence over appellate strategy, legal quality, and departmental development.
  • Reduced individual caseload, allowing greater focus on strategic leadership, mentoring, and legal oversight.
  • Opportunity to develop and lead a team of attorneys and legal support professionals.
  • Remote working opportunity.
  • Collaborative environment focused on immigration advocacy, compassionate client service, and professional excellence.
  • Opportunities to contribute to process improvements, training initiatives, and the development of consistent legal practices.
  • Meaningful work supporting individuals and families navigating complex immigration proceedings.
