About Kindra Migration Lawyers

MIGRATION MAKES US BETTER.

This belief drives everything we do. Kindra Migration Lawyers champion people seeking opportunity, safety, and new beginnings in Australia through fierce advocacy and genuine compassion.

The Kindra team

We understand that migration goes beyond compliance and paperwork. It’s about unlocking diverse talent that fuels innovation and guiding people through transformative life changes.

Kindra outline

Whether partnering with multinationals and start-ups or supporting individuals and families, we provide comprehensive legal guidance across every stage of the Australian immigration process.

Our multilingual team offers services in over 10 languages, combining rigorous legal expertise with compassion to deliver excellent outcomes for all our clients.

Founded in 2015 by Jessica Williamson, Simon Leske, and James Wardlaw, Kindra Migration Lawyers was built on a vision to make quality immigration services more accessible. We challenged traditional law firm models by introducing transparent fixed-fee pricing and leveraging technology to create user-friendly client experiences.

Further, we believe access to justice shouldn’t be determined by financial means. Through reduced-fee services and community partnerships, we’ve supported hundreds of humanitarian clients and provide ongoing legal education to community organisations, ensuring migration pathways remain open to those who need them most.

We’ve reimagined what a law firm workplace could be – building a flexible, collaborative environment where our team achieves genuine work-life balance while doing purposeful work.
