Latham & Watkins LLP
Latham & Watkins LLP made 90 filings covering 119 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $225,000 a year. 84 of those 90 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
Latham & Watkins LLP filed 16 permanent labour certifications between 2026-02-04 and 2026-06-24, of which 16 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
Tell me when this employer files again
One email when Latham & Watkins LLP appears in a new quarterly release, or files a permanent labour certification — which is the signal that it sponsors green cards.
