Don't know if this is the best place to post this but here it goes. Im a licensed attorney in central America and got a LLM from Penn State Law with a concentration in Corporate Law & Practice. I've been serving as an inhouse counsel for an American company that operates in my country. However I'm looking to either move to the US hoping for a better comp or a remote opportunity. Anyone has any idea of any law firm willing to take in and sponsor a foreign attorney that may sit on the NY bar soon?

Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but consider submitting a resume at US based firms that have a strong Latin American practice. A lot of those have a big Florida office, but many of them should have NYC offices as well.

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.
