Business Immigration Associate (3+ Years) De Wit Immigration Law | Miami, FL | Hybrid or Remote | $115,000–$135,000
About Us
We are a Miami-based business immigration firm of 14, with attorneys and staff across the U.S. and Latin America. Our practice is almost entirely business immigration, with a federal litigation component focused on APA and delay actions.
We are small by design. Low volume, high quality, and selective about the work we take on and the people we bring in. If that is the kind of firm where you want to build your practice, read on.

Hybrid or fully remote
The Role
You will own a varied caseload from initial consultation through completion: O-1, L-1, H-1B, EB-1A, EB-1C, E-2, EB-5, and PERM. You will draft briefs, support letters, and RFE and NOID responses. You will work directly with clients across the full case lifecycle. You will litigate APA delay actions in federal court. And you will collaborate with, and help lead, a non-hierarchical team of attorneys and legal staff.
This is not a document-assembly role. You will manage your caseload like it is your own practice.
Who We Want to Hire
We hire on character first. The associate who thrives at De Wit:
Cares about the craft of legal writing and rewrites until it is right
Owns the caseload without supervision or chasing
Engages clients across the U.S. and Latin America in fluent English and Spanish, with cultural fluency to match
Says "I don't know" and then figures it out
Wants to grow into leadership and help shape the firm
If you prefer high-volume environments, traditional hierarchies, or staying in your lane, this is not the right firm for you.
Minimum Qualifications
Licensed in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
3+ years of U.S. business immigration practice
Ability to handle O-1, E-2, and L-1 matters end to end with minimal supervision
Fluent in English and Spanish
Why De Wit Immigration
Low volume, by design. Time and resources to do your best work on every case.
Real ownership. No layers of supervision. Direct client engagement. Good ideas matter more than seniority.
Federal litigation exposure. Most business immigration firms do not litigate. We do, and you will.
Bilingual, bicultural practice. Spanish is part of how the firm operates, not a side skill.
A modern firm. We use technology to work better and want associates who help us keep building.
A path to leadership. We are growing. The path is real, not implied.
How to Apply
Submit the following materials:
CV
Two or three writing samples, preferably unedited so we see your actual work
A cover letter telling us who you are, why De Wit, and why you are the right fit
We value good writing above almost any other skill in this firm. Your cover letter is your first writing sample. Generic applications will not move forward.
De Wit Immigration Law is an equal opportunity employer.
