Fragomen

Fragomen has more than 50 offices strategically located in key commercial

centres throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and

Africa. From these offices, we provide comprehensive immigration support in

over 170 countries worldwide.

In Australia we are a leading law firm with immigration as our sole focus and a

deep understanding of the complexities of Australian immigration law and the

impact changes in regulations and policy have across different industries and in

people movement and labour mobility - both temporary and permanent. The

Fragomen team in Australia consists of more than 130 immigration

professionals, including solicitors, registered migration agents, accredited

specialists in immigration law, US attorneys, Notaries Public and other

immigration specialists. Our Australian offices are in Sydney, Melbourne,

Brisbane, and Perth.

Fragomen’s cross-jurisdictional advisory and transactional capabilities are

unique, as is our ability to provide holistic, legally sound solutions that meet

specific immigration needs right around the globe. Our comprehensive services

cover every element of corporate migration, from global and local immigration

program development and management, to arranging work visas, permanent

residence or citizenship applications.

Through our Government Relations team, we work closely with Government as

well as represent and advocate on behalf of our clients to effect positive change

to Australia’s regulatory environment. This has proven to be of significant benefit

for our corporate clients given the level of disruption and change in Australia’s

corporate sponsored temporary worker and permanent residence visa programs

in the last two years and likely further shifting in policy in 2019 and beyond.

We partner with corporate counsel, HR teams, global mobility professionals,

compliance leaders and recruitment managers across a wide range of industries

to help them strategically manage global mobility and ensure employees reach

locations quickly and compliantly. Fragomen uses global knowledge, pioneering

technology and expertise to analyse key developments for their strategic

relevance and assist clients to address changes and opportunities effectively.

Wherever staff may need to live and work, Fragomen’s global reach ensures

immigration needs are met promptly and effectively. Fragomen makes managing

today’s globally mobile workforce less stressful and more cost effective for

employers. Solving the most difficult and time-sensitive challenges, wherever

they occur, requires a global immigration firm dedicated to immigration.
