The MacDonnells Law Migration team is highly experienced in all aspects of migration law
From introduction to Australia’s complex and ever changing migration laws to advice on business structuring and acquisitions, the MacDonnells Law Queensland-wide Migration Team has the knowledge and skills to assist you. We are sensitive to cultural issues and provide advice tailored to each client’s individual needs.
MacDonnells Law’s Migration Team members are all Registered Migration Agents and because we are also lawyers, our migration advice is complemented by MacDonnells Law’s full range of legal services. We deal with issues of statutory interpretation, legal submissions and administrative law relating to decisions by government departments in our day-to-day practice. This means our Registered Migration Agents can also advise clients on related matters such as foreign investment requirements, corporations law, commercial, business and property transactions.
The MacDonnells Law Migration Team is led by Partner Matthew Bowen and the Team has Registered Migration Agents in our Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns offices who can service clients throughout Queensland and from overseas. Our Migration team is also part of the MacDonnells Law Australia China Legal Group, a group with members who have fluent Chinese language skills to liaise with Chinese clients and counterparts.
