We advise on New Zealand work and residence visas, accredited-employer sponsorship, citizenship, and the business and family questions that arise when people and companies move between Australia and New Zealand.

For Brazilian and Portuguese clients, New Zealand is often part of a wider plan that includes Australia — we advise on both at once.

Can Australians and New Zealanders move freely between the two countries?

Do you appear in New Zealand courts?

We advise and act on New Zealand matters and brief local counsel for court appearances where needed.
