Employment Law Attorney jobs in Arizona

ABOUT THE FIRM 

Join the New Frontier Immigration Law team and help change the lives of 1 million undocumented immigrants. Our fast-growing, mid-sized law firm in Phoenix, AZ is committed to humanitarian-based immigration and finding innovative solutions for seemingly impossible problems. 

Please note that this position and this law firm is not for everyone. If you don’t love everything in this ad, please don’t apply—you deserve to spend your working hours at a company that makes you feel completely alive; please don’t settle!

We help immigrants L.I.V.E. FREE. Here is how our values play a part in this job.

Live. We are a growing law firm with a passion for helping immigrants live completely free; we do family-based immigration and removal defense; we do not do any business/employer-based immigration, student visas, or tourist visas. We are looking for an organized, passionate attorney who likes to work hard by helping our incredible clients truly live, and in exchange, that attorney knows s/he will feel immeasurably fulfilled in his or her life. 

Innovative. We are innovative, not only in the ways we serve our clients but in the way we have built our team and the way we support them through the ups and downs of immigration practice. To that end, we know what we’re looking for—and we know our ideal candidate does too!—and that’s someone who is creative, strategic, and passionate. If, however, if you’re just looking for a J.O.B.—a place where you can show up every day and get a paycheck—this isn’t the place for you. We are doing life-changing work and want someone who believes that his or her life’s work is meant for this cause! Every member of our 100 member team sees solutions and opportunities where other firms see problems; we see human lives where other firms see a case number. We are true believers.

Vested. We are vested in the outcome of every case and in the growth of every team member. We believe it is important to create an atmosphere where each team member can be productive and where they can hone their skills, so they are always learning, growing, and improving. Clients are at the core of every successful firm, and it is important to listen to what they want so we can meet their needs while giving them an incredible customer experience that creates raving fans. That is why employees and our clients and the experience they have working with us are critical to everything we do.   

Excellence. We believe each member of the team holds themselves and their teammates accountable so that excellence is always present. We also find that communication and camaraderie in a fast-paced business that has fun and celebrates growth and successes make it a place worth working. And while we are a fun, vibrant team, we also believe in Systems and Key Performance Indicators, so that we know we are always working in a streamlined fashion and driving results. We expect greatness and are willing to help you get there, but we will also be just as honest in our quarterly reviews if you are not reaching the expectations that have been set. We want our team to know if they are getting an A, or if they are falling short and how they can get up to the A status. If you don’t thrive on honing your skills and learning new ways, then this likely is not the right job for you. From our Receptionist to our CEO, every person on our team is growing every month.   

If anything in this ad made you want to run for the hills, then you really shouldn’t apply. But if you know that you are the best of the best, that you love what you do and you want to be on this mission with us, please apply!
