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.
