Immigration Risk in Everyday Matters: How to spot the visa issue before it changes your client’s outcome
About the session
A client’s visa status can change the answer to a question you thought you had covered. A criminal charge, a separation, a WorkCover claim or a new hire can each carry an immigration consequence, and it often does not surface until the matter is well underway. This is a practical session on where those issues sit, how to recognise them early, and when bringing in a specialist gets your client a better result.

- Identifying immigration risk factors
- Knowing when specialist immigration advice can help achieve a better outcome for your client

Lawyers acting for:
- Businesses hiring people who hold visas
