Senior Business Immigration Associate in Miami, Florida at De Wit Immigration Law P.A.

We hire on character first. The junior associate who thrives at De Wit:

• Cares about the craft of legal writing and rewrites until it is right

• Owns every assignment without 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.

HOW TO APPLY: To be considered, please complete our application here: https://careers.dewit.law/apply?role=senior-associate-attorney&utm_source=wizehire — the application asks for your resume, a cover letter, and writing examples. Please set aside about 10 minutes. Applications completed through our portal are the ones our review team evaluates.

De Wit Immigration Law is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

• A flat team. Everyone here contributes, whatever their role, and has an equal seat at the table. Good ideas matter more than seniority.

• Federal litigation exposure. Most business immigration firms do not litigate. We do, and you will.

• Bilingual practice. Spanish is part of how the firm operates, not a side skill.

• A modern firm. We use cutting-edge technology to work better and want associates who help us keep improving.

• A path to leadership. We are growing, and the next step is to help shape our legal team as we scale. That means growth opportunities for people who are hungry to take them and add real value.

De Wit Immigration Law is a Miami-based firm focused on business immigration and federal immigration litigation. We are deliberately low-volume: we take fewer cases and do them exceptionally well, and our reputation reflects it.

We use technology to work efficiently, and we reward ownership and results, empowering our team to grow as professionals. Our team is hybrid, with members in Miami, Latin America, and Europe.
