Employment Law + Immigration

The only firm in Australia specialising in both immigration law and employment law in one team.

When you’re sponsoring overseas workers, terminating employment, or restructuring your team, immigration and employment law collide. Most firms make you handle them separately. Our Special Counsel Sean Melbourne sits directly within our team, providing employment law advice, enterprise bargaining, workplace laws, and HR & ER services so you never fall through the gap.

Our Leaders Leading Your Matter

Troy Andres, Founder and Partner at Gilton Valeo Lawyers

Troy Andres

Founder & Partner

“I help businesses use immigration as a strategic tool for growth.”

Troy has practised corporate immigration for over 20 years. His passion began in high school, writing about Australia’s skills shortage for the NSW Parliament. He advises mining giants, fast-growth tech companies, and global multinationals. He understands that each business and each person is unique — the goal is always seamless, fluid systems for attracting and retaining the best talent.

Our Leaders Leading Your Matter - Fiona Wong

Fiona Wong

Managing Partner

“Immigration law isn’t just about visas, it’s about solving the deeper commercial questions behind them.”

Fiona’s story is one of following her gut. She immigrated from Hong Kong, fell in love with immigration law, left a secure Deloitte in-house role without a plan, and chose Gilton Valeo because the culture felt right. That decision led to her becoming Managing Partner. Fiona is an active speaker on the LOVE+RELO show, a contributor to Forbes India, and published on Mondaq, LiveMint, and Worldwide ERC.
