INTRODUCTION
Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn't work together.
So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we've embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.
Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We're building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

Search Legal Jobs in LouisianaLegal Jobs in Louisiana: Frequently Asked Questions
Which legal companies sponsor H-1B visas in Louisiana?
H-1B visa sponsorship in Louisiana's legal sector comes from several employer types: large regional law firms such as Liskow & Lewis and Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann, corporate legal departments at energy companies like Entergy and Cheniere Energy, and the in-house legal teams of major financial institutions and healthcare systems operating in the state. Federal agency regional offices and government contractors also have documented H-1B filing activity for legal roles.
Which cities in Louisiana have the most legal H-1B sponsorship jobs?
New Orleans concentrates the highest volume of legal H-1B sponsorship activity, driven by its density of regional law firms, maritime law practices, and corporate headquarters. Baton Rouge follows as the state capital, home to government-adjacent legal employers and the petrochemical industry's in-house counsel offices. Shreveport has a smaller but active market, particularly tied to energy sector legal work and federal court activity in the Western District of Louisiana.
What types of legal roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Roles that qualify for H-1B sponsorship must meet the specialty occupation standard, meaning they require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. In the legal sector, this typically includes associate attorney positions, in-house counsel roles, compliance officers, legal analysts, and contract specialists. Paralegals and legal assistants generally do not qualify unless the position requires a relevant four-year degree as a minimum entry requirement.
How do I find legal H-1B sponsorship jobs in Louisiana?
Migrate Mate surfaces legal H-1B sponsorship jobs in Louisiana by pulling verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing data, so every employer listed has a documented history of sponsoring H-1B workers in legal roles. You can filter by state, visa type, and industry to see which New Orleans or Baton Rouge law firms and corporate legal departments are actively hiring. This removes the guesswork of identifying which employers will actually sponsor.
Are there state-specific considerations for H-1B sponsorship in Louisiana's legal sector?
Louisiana operates under civil law, derived from the Napoleonic Code, rather than common law like every other U.S. state. Employers hiring foreign-trained attorneys for Louisiana-specific legal work may require bar admission under Louisiana's rules, which include a Louisiana Law component on the bar exam. Attorneys licensed in civil law jurisdictions abroad sometimes find their background more directly transferable to Louisiana legal practice, though H-1B eligibility still depends on meeting standard USCIS specialty occupation requirements.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B legal jobs in Louisiana?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
