Business Immigration

Australian immigration laws are very complex and constantly changing. Our lawyers and migration agents are attuned to all immigration law and policy changes that may impact on a client's application.

Regardless of whether we are assisting our international corporate clients to establish a regional office, helping an individual in seeking permanent residency, or any of the myriad other possibilities for Australian immigration, we will carefully guide you in the most appropriate and cost-effective way to attain your goal.

In addition to advising on all visa categories, including business, skilled, family, retirement and student visa applications, the firm also provides representation in applications to the Refugee Review Tribunal, Migration Review Tribunal, Administrative Appeals Tribunal and the Federal Courts. Our lawyers also have extensive experience in handling visa cancellation matters, whether before or after detention.

Our immigration practice also facilitates a wide range of legal services for those of our international clients who are establishing, maintaining or expanding their business operations in Australia or in other countries.

With an office in Beijing, a Korean practice group and membership of the Lexlink international network of law firms, we are well placed to provide these additional services. The clients we assist in this regard come from a wide range of industries including mining and resources, insurance, entertainment and media, financial, pharmaceutical, real estate and manufacturing.

Drawing on the resources of the firm's other practice groups, our immigration lawyers and migration agents are able to offer access to an extensive network of resources, experience and business capabilities. We are closely aligned with a variety of other professionals or service providers including accountants, business and corporate advisers, brokers, insurers, originators, lenders and real estate agents.

The areas in which we can provide or arrange assistance include, property development and construction, business sales and purchases and the establishment of businesses in Australia.
