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.

I highly recommend James as a lawyer and Mai as his assistant. They are truly committed, loyal, and professional. What sets them apart is that they see their clients as human, not just cases & money, they genuinely care.Mai is one of the most dedicated and kindest people I have ever met. I forwarded an important email to her at 9:30 PM on a Friday, and she called me right away to explain everything. She told me she called because she knew I’d be stressed if I had to wait until Monday. That level of care and dedication is rare, and I truly appreciate everything they have done for me.Thank you, Mai and James!
