What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Immigration Attorney – Removal Defense position at Konare Law?
About Konare Law
Konare Law is not a traditional immigration firm. We represent noncitizens in some of the most complex and high-pressure immigration removal proceedings in the country. Our attorneys don’t just prepare motions—they change lives, shape precedent, and build trusted relationships with clients and communities. As we scale our immigration removal defense practice in 2026, we are seeking a driven, strategic, and client-focused associate who sees this role as the beginning of a long-term leadership journey with us.
The Opportunity

- Excels in courtroom advocacy and legal analysis
- Is deeply committed to immigration justice
- Understands that sustainable legal practice requires both excellence in representation and active engagement in firm growth
- Wants to build something lasting—not just take on cases, but grow a practice
You’ll handle your own docket of immigration removal defense cases from day one, with mentorship, infrastructure, and appellate support. Over time, you’ll be expected to cultivate referral relationships, contribute to firm visibility, and help shape our strategic direction within our immigration litigation practice.

- Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
- A personal or professional commitment to serving immigrant communities
- Entrepreneurial mindset—you’re ready to grow with us, not just work for us
