Unlike many other migration agencies, we have Australian qualified lawyers on our team, which we believe enhances the quality of our services. Our consultants are registered migration agents and qualified lawyers. As we operate under MARA's regulations, most of our Australian lawyers do not maintain practising certificates with the legal regulator. We have purposely chosen not to structure ourselves as an immigration law firm so we can offer more competitive pricing, significantly lower than traditional migration law firms.

This means that even when working with one of our lawyers, a formal solicitor-client relationship will not be established. Should your case require court representation, we collaborate with our network of external legal professionals to ensure smooth continuity.
