Holman Webb has deep expertise in relation to investment in Australian real property, corporations and businesses.
In particular, Holman Webb is in a position to offer migration and foreign investment advice to investors from the People’s Republic of China. Lawyers at Holman Webb have native Mandarin and Cantonese speaking capacity and the firm operates closely with the Shanghai office of Graf von Westphalen with whom we are a member of the SCG Legal Group.
Partners of the firm regularly provide seminars both in Australia and in People’s Republic of China to potential investors and the firm is perfectly placed to give cost effective advice on matters concerning Australian migration and investment law to clients in Australia and People’s Republic of China.
Holman Webb offers specialised legal services to overseas businesses wishing to establish operations in Australia and local businesses seeking talent from overseas, as well as foreign nationals who wish to migrate to and invest or carry on business in Australia.
Only registered migration agents may give migration advice in Australia. Jonathan Casson (Migration Agent Registration Number 0316983) can assist with all aspects of the migration process including identifying the best visa for each individual and their families.
Many international businesses have benefited from our assistance in establishing local operations in Australia and relocating essential staff to this country. Likewise already established businesses in Australia find it very useful to seek and bring in overseas talent to enhance their business offerings. In the business setting, the usual application is for a subclass 457 visa which allows temporary residency for up to 4 years for employees and their partners and family members nominated by businesses operating in Australia.
Australian migration law provides for a number of fast track pathways to permanent residency for investors including the Significant Investor Visa and the Business Innovation and Investment Visas. Jonathan can assist in such applications including arranging State Government sponsorship; and preparing the requisite expression of interest, application and supporting documentation.
