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.
Fragomen has been a member of CEDA since 2013.
