Presenters
James Hammond, Principal Lawyer, Hammond Migration
James is the principal lawyer at Hammond Migration, a firm committed to supporting employers, employees and families through the complex Australian visa process. James has practised exclusively in the field of Australian immigration since 2005 and has extensive experience navigating Australia’s immigration system for the benefit of clients. Australia’s immigration policies are complex, political and change often. Staying abreast of the changes is challenging for lawyers, let alone visa applicants and sponsors. Australia’s population at any given time is made up of around 10% temporary visa holders, so practitioners in other areas of law are increasingly becoming embroiled in visa issues. James regularly assists in these matters where different areas of law intersect.
Marian Clarkin, Barrister, Chapman's List
Trial and appellate advocacy forms the basis of Marian’s practice and she has appeared in superior courts in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania. Outside of court, Marian also regularly represents clients to negotiate settlements and participate in mediations, as well as drafting and settling documents and providing advice. Marian has a broad practice, which often involves complex matters where many areas of the law overlap and there are multiple related proceedings on foot.
