About

La Rosa Law, P.A. is a quickly growing virtual law firm headquartered in Miami that offers tailored legal services at the intersection of business and immigration.

Are you a good fit?

At La Rosa Law, we love what we do and the culture we are working to build. But we are an acquired taste—our team is not the right fit for everyone


Good fit. This position should be right up your alley if…

  • You do not seek the structure of the traditional office.
  • You enjoy working on different types of projects (more a generalist than a specialist).
  • You can take the lead, chasing down your supervisors (who are busy and not always in the office) to ask questions you need answered, and you take ownership of ensuring the job gets done (you don’t need to be micromanaged because you can take initiative).




Not a good fit. This is not going to be the right position for you if…

  • You are looking to work in a traditional office context (you demand structure and clear-cut instructions and seek an employer who will spell everything out for you), and the volatile nature of working with a small business scares you.
  • You are shy, expect your supervisors to hold your hand and walk you through tasks step-by-step, and need significant supervision to complete projects.
  • You are not an “all hands on deck” team player (you can’t be bothered to do work that you think is “beneath” you), and,
  • You are unable or uncomfortable communicating with people (internally or externally).




Miscellaneous

Key considerations: Availability and willingness to work hours as needed to meet critical deadlines. Strong commitment to client service excellence and teamwork. Excellent communication skills (oral, written, and listening). Sound judgment and flexibility. Strong organizational skills, including the ability to coordinate multiple support tasks.
