MIGRATION
With strengths in: citizenship,
refugee and humanitarian issues,
visas and compliance.
Historically, Australia is a migrant country. Our
corporate knowledge in the development and application
of Australian Government law and policy generally
and migration law in particular can be of significant
benefit to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship,
the Migration Review Tribunal and the Refugee Review
Tribunal.
Over the years, we have gained an impressive depth
of experience in both migration law and international
law. Ongoing work on a wide range of migration issues
means we fully understand the sensitivities of these
areas of government activity.
We are familiar with the role and operations of
the various migration-related tribunals and of the
Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Our legal
advice and assistance have been provided in relation
to a wide range of issues arising under immigration
law, including citizenship, refugee and humanitarian
issues, migration and temporary entry, settlement
of migrants and humanitarian entrants, immigration
compliance and detention and border immigration controls.
Our understanding of the subject and our presence
in all capital cities allow us to provide the department
and tribunals with coordinated and superior legal
advice on a nationally consistent basis.
