ATTORNEY PRACTICE MANAGER
About The Position
JJ Moore & Associates is seeking an experienced Immigration Attorney and people leader to join our growing firm as an Attorney Practice Manager. Our practice focuses primarily on humanitarian, family-based, and removal defense immigration matters. We combine strong legal advocacy with compassionate, client-centered representation. This is a senior leadership opportunity for an attorney who enjoys developing people, improving legal operations, and helping a growing practice succeed. You will work closely with firm leadership and our attorneys, paralegals, and support staff across our Nashville and Atlanta offices. The role combines legal leadership, team development, and practice operations. We do not expect one person to do everything, we are looking for someone with strong judgment who can support the team, identify opportunities for improvement, and help the firm operate effectively as it grows.
Requirements
- A J.D. from an accredited law school.
- An active law license in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
- Strong experience practicing U.S. immigration law.
- Experience supervising, mentoring, or developing attorneys or legal staff.
- Good knowledge of immigration case management and legal workflows.
- Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- A practical, collaborative, and client-centered approach to leadership.
Nice To Haves
- Experience managing a law firm, practice group, legal department, or legal team is highly valued, but you do not need to have held the title of Practice Manager.

We value demonstrated leadership, judgment, and impact more than a particular job title.
Responsibilities
- Support attorneys and legal staff with case strategy, prioritization, and complex immigration matters.
- Mentor, coach, and develop attorneys and paralegals.
- Oversee case workflows, caseloads, deadlines, and quality standards.
- Identify bottlenecks and improve systems, processes, and accountability.
- Promote strong communication, collaboration, and client service across the firm.
- Work with firm leadership on operational priorities and growth initiatives.
- Use case and performance information to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Help develop scalable systems that support firm growth without compromising legal quality or client care.
