About us

WLW Migration Lawyers is an Australian specialist immigration law firm. Our team of experienced lawyers are committed to providing professional and ethical migration advice and assistance to our clients.

WLW Migration Lawyers was founded by Jessica Williamson, Simon Leske and James Wardlaw in 2015. The founders were motivated to start a law firm that leverages technology to provide high-quality, user-friendly services.

The firm also sought to challenge the typical “law firm” profile by offering employees a flexible and collaborative work environment that offers the team good work/life balance.

WLW Migration Lawyers is an award-winning specialist immigration law firm with a team of skillful and compassionate lawyers and support staff.

WLW Migration Lawyers is also committed to giving back to the community and has assisted hundreds of humanitarian clients on a reduced fee model and offers legal education to its community partners.

WLW Migration Lawyers was founded with a vision to bring the best of the corporate world and the best from the not-for-profit world together under one roof.

One aspect of this vision was the development of the Bridge Project, WLW’s own not-for-profit arm. The Bridge Project aims to ‘bridge the gap’ between community legal services, which are under strain, and full-fee legal services.

Exceptional service, expert guidance, and a seamless immigration process. Five stars for professionalism and success!
We approached WLW Immigration with a rather complex partner visa case. It’s worth noting that we had consultations with many other law firms and migration agents, and some of them expressed doubts about achieving a positive outcome given the complexity of our situation.Our experience took a... remarkable turn when we were introduced to Rabiah, former senior attorney at WLW Immigration, who took the lead on our case. Rabiah's dedication, expertise, and profound understanding of immigration law were truly exceptional. She guided us through every step of the process, offering genuine advice, and most importantly, she was refreshingly straightforward and honest about every aspect of our case. This left us feeling reassured throughout the process.While Rabiah's efforts were outstanding, we’d also like to acknowledge the entire WLW Immigration team. Their collective approach and strategic handling of our case played a pivotal role in achieving the remarkable result of securing our visa in just 2 months, without any RFI.We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at WLW Immigration for providing such an incredible service. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of immigration assistance. They are the best in the business, and we couldn't be happier with the results.read more
