Your key responsibilities

At an associate level would be required to assist the Immigration team in U.S. and Canada in preparing U.S. and Canadian immigration cases.

The preparation of cases would require the Attorney to:

Learn immigration processing categories and legal requirements for each work visa and permanent resident visa category and apply legal knowledge as required in the case preparation process
Use available resources to draft complex immigration petition packages (using the facts of each case to tell a story, while highlighting each of the legal requirements)
Revise drafts
Ensure that documents are saved and filed into the appropriate virtual workspaces/folders
Leverage technology resources to ensure the immigration group is operating as efficiently and effectively as possible
Liaise on a regular basis with support teams located throughout EY's international network.

In addition to this, the Attorney would be required to work with team members and further the development of the team – be it timely reporting to seniors; understanding project metrics such as utilization and efficiency; and overall taking ownership of the work assigned to them.
