Troy is a founder and a partner at Gilton Valeo Lawyers, which is an incorporated legal practice that specialises in all aspects of Australian immigration and nationality law for corporate and private clients.

With over two decades of practice, Troy has been able to utilize his deep understanding of administrative law and practice across the vast permutations of immigration scenarios (involving tens of thousands of applications for high volume corporate clients).  Accordingly, he has learnt that each business, and each person, is unique and what works in one particular situation may not necessarily work in another.  He has advised mining giants, start-ups and some of the fastest growing tech companies in the world and has helped each grow through driving change and best practice.  Although the strategies differ, the goal is always the same – seamless and fluid systems for attracting and retaining the best talent.

Troy understands that workforce mobility is changing in real time and in a world of constant disruption, the traditional approaches to immigration may not suffice.  Recognising this, he uses his commercial acumen in guiding companies with managing their risk profile and creating systems and protocols that enlighten both the business and the employee with respect to their rights and obligations under immigration law.

Helping a client is not just about giving advice.  It is about solving deeper issues in how to manage their business commercially and legally when it comes to immigration.

Global businesses need fluidity in managing their talent to grow.  However, fluidity only arises when there is alignment in all aspects of the employment process, from recruitment, to visa processing, onboarding, and compliance.  Troy takes a holistic approach which enables clients to access knowledge that is based on a deep understanding of immigration (and global mobility) across many industries.

Troy has also delivered lectures for the Migration Institute of Australia and the Global Mobility Institute, where he has shaped the careers of many aspiring immigration lawyers.  He has been a finalist for Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year in 2022 and 2023 and was named Corporate Immigration Lawyer in 2022 by Lawyers Monthly.
