Summary

Shearman & Sterling LLP is a law firm based in New York that has sponsored H-1B workers since 2010. Over 15 years, the firm filed 326 H-1B petitions, with 59.2% certified, 3.37% withdrawn, and 0.61% denied.

The firm's H-1B sponsorship is heavily concentrated in legal roles: 313 of its 326 filings (96%) were for lawyers under SOC code 23-1011. The remaining filings covered marketing managers (6), financial and investment analysts (3), and operations research analysts (2). This role mix reflects the firm's core business as a legal services employer.

Sponsorship volume peaked in 2018 with 55 filings, then declined through 2019 (41 filings) and has been minimal since 2022, with only 1 filing each in 2022 and 2024. The certification rate of 59.2% is below the all-time H-1B average, suggesting challenges in meeting prevailing wage or other LCA requirements.
