I would like to take this opportunity to thank one of your colleagues, Connor Deegan, for his dedication in completing his work study program with Work Visa Lawyers. Connor executed a diverse array of tasks that made him a valuable contribution to my business, and to the work of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA). Throughout his placement, Connor was dependable, motivated, and demonstrated thorough attention to detail.
One of the more extensive projects Connor was tasked with was drafting an industry submission to a parliamentary Inquiry. This undertaking showcased Connors ability to identify and summarize key points from within vast amounts of information. He was also able to prove his abilities by respond to instruction, demonstrating initiative, and meeting deadlines.
No matter what area of law Connor decides to pursue, the experience he has gained and the tasks he has completed have created a solid foundation of skills that will transfer over to his next internship or post grad position. Some of these other skills include:
- Legal research
- Precedent adaptation
- Law/business communication
- Industry advocacy
- Drafting correspondents
- Time management
- Working in a team
- Meeting Deadlines
Upon completion of Connors work placement, we came to the realization that there must be missed opportunities for both Work Visa Lawyers and students aspiring to become lawyers.

Unlike other firms, the student is not subjected to coffee runs, instead the candidate will work alongside experienced immigration lawyers and RMAS ensuring that they receive the wisdom and understanding to be a successful lawyer.
Unfortunately, we currently have a limited number of positions due to an influx in applications. As you may already know, with the GDLP and other driving factors positions have become very competitive. Thus, Work Visa Lawyers will be looking for other exemplary candidates like Connor Deegan.
