Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as an Assistant General Counsel
Verify your bar admission covers TN eligibility
TN attorney classification requires a license to practice law in Canada, Mexico, or a U.S. state. If you hold a Canadian or Mexican law degree but your bar admission is inactive or suspended, resolve that before applying. CBP will ask for proof of good standing.
Target employers with active legal departments
Focus on companies large enough to have in-house legal teams, such as publicly traded corporations, financial institutions, and regulated industries like healthcare or energy. These employers routinely handle TN filings and are less likely to treat sponsorship as an obstacle during offer negotiations.
Clarify your practice area before the offer stage
TN petitions for Attorney roles don't require specifying a subspecialty, but your offer letter should describe legal duties clearly. Vague job descriptions like 'provide legal support' can draw CBP scrutiny. Ask your employer to specify functions such as contract negotiation, regulatory compliance, or litigation oversight.
Search for sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Assistant General Counsel roles by employers who have a history of TN visa sponsorship. This cuts the time you'd otherwise spend cold-applying to companies that won't engage with the process at all.
Prepare for consular filing if you're Mexican
Mexican nationals must apply at a U.S. consulate rather than a port of entry, and the annual TN allocation means timing matters. Gather your law degree, bar certificate, offer letter, and any supporting credentials well before your intended start date to avoid delays.
Align your start date with the TN filing timeline
Canadian applicants can get TN status at the border the same day, but if your employer needs you to start on a fixed date, build in buffer for document review. CBP officers can request additional evidence on the spot, and a second trip is not uncommon.

Find Assistant General Counsel JobsAssistant General Counsel TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Assistant General Counsel role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes. The TN visa includes an Attorney category under USMCA, which covers in-house counsel roles including Assistant General Counsel. You need a law degree from an accredited institution in Canada, Mexico, or the U.S., plus an active bar license. The job offer must describe duties consistent with legal practice, not general business management.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for Assistant General Counsel positions?
The TN visa has no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and no employer petition required for Canadian applicants, who can obtain status at a port of entry. H-1B requires a lottery selection, a USCIS petition, and months of processing time. For attorneys who qualify under USMCA, TN is generally faster and more predictable than the H-1B route.
Can I switch from one employer to another on TN status as an in-house attorney?
Yes, but TN status is employer-specific. If you leave your sponsoring employer, your TN authorization ends. To work for a new company, you or the new employer must obtain new TN status before you begin. Canadian nationals can do this at a port of entry; Mexican nationals must return to a consulate.
Where can I find Assistant General Counsel jobs that include TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you filter legal roles specifically by employers with TN visa sponsorship history. This is more efficient than applying broadly and discovering late in the process that a company won't sponsor. Searching with TN eligibility as a filter upfront saves significant time and avoids wasted applications.
Does my Canadian or Mexican law degree satisfy the TN attorney requirement?
A law degree from a Canadian or Mexican institution typically satisfies the educational requirement for TN attorney classification. However, you must also hold an active bar license in Canada, Mexico, or a U.S. jurisdiction. CBP will review both credentials. If your degree is from another country, you'll likely need a credential evaluation and may face additional scrutiny.
