Migration law

Visas for professionals, families and employers.

Immigration lawyers in Perth

Our migration lawyers advise skilled professionals, couples and families, students and graduates, and the Western Australian employers who sponsor overseas staff. We handle the whole application — strategy, evidence, lodgement and dealing with the Department of Home Affairs.

Because we're lawyers, we can also take a refused application to the Administrative Review Tribunal and, where there is a legal error, to court. We meet clients in Perth and advise across Australia and overseas by video.

Questions

Lawyer or migration agent?

Since 2021, Australian lawyers with an unrestricted practising certificate can give immigration advice without registering as migration agents. As lawyers, we can also act in court if a matter goes beyond the Tribunal.

My visa was refused. What now?

Book a refusal review now. Most applications to the Administrative Review Tribunal must be made within 28 days of the decision — sooner in some cases — and the deadline generally can't be extended.

Can we meet online?

Yes. We advise clients across Australia and overseas by video.

Can my business sponsor overseas staff?

Often, yes — through the Skills in Demand (482), Employer Nomination Scheme (186) or regional (494) visas. We handle the sponsorship, the nomination and the employment contract together.
