Why it matters

Manifest OS, the New York legal AI company behind the Manifest Law brand, announced on October 27, 2026 that it is going international. The company will consolidate employers' U.S. and overseas immigration work under one global team running on its own AI platform. Manifest Law is a U.S. immigration firm with offices in New York City and Phoenix. It operates on Manifest OS, a separate technology company that handles everything except the legal work, and its lawyers charge fixed or outcome-based fees rather than hourly rates. Named in the announcement are founder and CEO Dan Mishin and Jeff Joseph, a former American Immigration Lawyers Association president who now leads immigration strategy.

The company's reach abroad is not settled. The Business Wire release says it can serve immigration matters in more than 100 countries. A parallel release and LegalTechTalk describe new offices in more than 40 countries within 12 months. Until the company clarifies, treat the footprint as unconfirmed. The launch follows a $60 million Series A completed in April 2026 at a $750 million valuation, which Mishin has said will fund global immigration work and new practice areas. Earlier investors include Menlo Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, First Round Capital and Quiet Capital. The firm also launched under Arizona's alternative business structure program, which allows non-lawyers to hold economic interests in law firms. The U.S. business reports more than 400 corporate immigration clients. Coverage so far comes mainly from company press releases and one Law360 trade report, so independent verification of growth and client outcomes is limited.

This is a test of whether AI-native, non-traditional firms can expand beyond one practice area and one jurisdiction. Attorneys tracking the space should watch for the company's actual country list and office openings, which will show whether the 100-plus and 40-plus figures reflect real capacity. Also watch for any bar or regulatory response to cross-border work and to non-lawyer ownership under Arizona's ABS rules. The company claims 10x year-to-date growth in its corporate practice, a figure that independent reporting has not yet tested.
