Summary
WHAT WE DO:
We provide practical strategies for immigrants who dare to achieve high and seek their own prosperity in Australia.
WHOM WE WORK WITH:
We teamed up with the lawyers, accountants and business professionals, to interconnect immigrants with the Australian system efficiently.
WHY NEED IT:
It could be an absolute puzzle for the foreigners to navigate Australia social code and rules. From visa, skill recognition, tax, housing, work permits, employment, business activities, insurance, license to defend yourself in court or tribunal, there are some series of issues that could hinder immigrants for a better living. The complexity faced by new immigrants can lead to the irreversible misjudgments which might be resulted in negative consequences for years to come.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:
We walk the walk.
Being in Australia for 21 years with a wealth of practical experiences as an expat and lawyer, I have helped more than a thousand of immigrants to navigate and adopt the local system in order to achieve and enjoy the living they desired.
WHAT OTHERS SAY:
“I am very fortunate to get the right advice from my solicitor Ms Ann ZHOU who got me the license for my inbound tour business and connected my business in China with the business in Australia which resulted in profit from day one.” from Blue Ocean Tours Pty Ltd“If it was not for the knowledge and excellent service from my solicitor Ms Ann ZHOU, my family and I could not set up the Ugg boots factory in NSW successfully. Our product- Jumbuck Ugg patented become a well-known brand worldwide and my whole family migrated to Sydney because of the success of our business.” from Jumbuck Australia Pty Ltd
