Australian Visa Assistance
MB Lawyers is an Australian law firm specialising in
Australian Immigration law, with a particular focus on
corporate immigration. We are dedicated to assist
the HR function with visa requirements to enable
global talent mobility.
The Importance of
Getting it Right
Integrity, corporate responsibility, professionalism
and employer of choice, are all reasons to ensure
immigration law is at the forefront of your global
mobility strategy.
Compliance and Monitoring is a key focus and
companies are subject to targeted monitoring
checks by the Department of Immigration. Penalties
can be devastating – fines, freeze on your ability to
sponsor, cancellation of sponsorship facility can all
lead to, at the very least, disruption to a project or the
very worst, can bring the company to its heels. Don’t
risk it.

requirements for persons to work in your Australian
organisation.
