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 which utilises a fixed-fee model and 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 also committed to giving back to the community and has assisted hundreds of humanitarian clients on a reduced fee model and offers reduced fee services and legal education to its community partners.

The Bridge Project

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.

My experience with WLW is amazing! From the beginning, James provided a very professional guidance and Nisha has been more than helpful in lodging my skills assessment application. Got my positive outcome and look forward to working with them further for my visa application. Thank you guys, you’re the best!!!

My partner obtained his Protection Visa after hiring WLW Migration Lawyers. We had been advised by a different law firm that we didn't have a chance. Luckily we took a punt and sought further advice with Simon at WLW. Four months later we were successful. Not only that, the submission and evidence that Simon and Jess provided to the AAT was so thorough they cancelled our hearing and awarded my partner the Visa on the submission's merits.Whilst the result is amazing, we are equally grateful for the friendly, sensitive and compassionate approach that Simon, Jess and team provided us. As a gay couple, it can be daunting dealing with people over such sensitive issues. We never felt anything other than genuine warmth, understanding and acceptance. THANK YOU!

Tony Tran is the best migration lawyer ever! He helped my family obtain the permanent residency last year and it wasn't an easy case.This year he made another dream come true. He helped my mom get her visitor Visa. I'm sure it sounds simple but it was actually a very low prospect case. Nevertheless, his knowledge and expertise lead us to visa grant. Now I get to see my mom after not being able to see her for 7 long years and she'll finally meet my children 🫶🏻Thanks immensely, Tony! It's such a blessing working with you!Always grateful 🙏🏻

Response from the owner: Dear IrenaYour lovely review has made our day, thank you! We wish you all the best for the future and hope you and your family enjoy your long-awaited reunion! Kind regardsWLW Migration Lawyers

I recently got my visa granted and I wouldn’t have had it without the massive support and help from lawyer Wei. Process was always clear and comfortable. Thanks a million for your service.

Jessica Zhou

WLW Migration Lawyers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and I thank them for their assistance in my case, particularly Jessica Williamson and Mai. I am confident I would not have had a positive result if it were not for their time and investment in my case. Due to time constraints, Jessica and Mai were working around the clock to help me submit materials on time and for that I am very grateful. I highly recommend this law firm for help in migration matters.

Response from the owner: Dear JessicaThank you for your kind words and we're so pleased that we could assist you to reach a great outcome! Kind regardsWLW Migration Lawyers
