Xemplo Legal | Sydney CBD | Full-time | Hybrid working

Take your legal career beyond traditional practice. Join a growing international workforce solutions group where immigration expertise, commercial strategy, technology and global business intersect.

About Xemplo Legal

At Xemplo Legal, we're building a different kind of legal practice.

As part of the broader EPG Group, Xemplo Legal combines specialist legal expertise with an established international workforce solutions business, innovative technology and a global client base.

Through our wider group, we support businesses across the employment lifecycle, including immigration and global mobility, HR technology, payroll, employment law, workforce compliance and staffing solutions.

Our clients include established Australian businesses, global organisations and blue-chip multinational companies navigating increasingly complex workforce requirements.

We believe the future of legal advisory is about understanding the bigger picture. Immigration is rarely an isolated business decision. It is connected to workforce planning, international expansion, employment obligations, payroll, compliance and the commercial realities of operating across multiple jurisdictions.

Our ambition is to build an integrated global advisory and services framework that helps businesses establish, manage and grow their workforces internationally.

As we continue expanding our technology, services and geographic reach, Xemplo Legal will play an increasingly important role in supporting that vision.

About the opportunity

We're looking for an experienced, commercially minded Immigration Lawyer who wants to build a career that extends well beyond traditional immigration practice.

Immigration law will remain your core area of expertise, but we're seeking someone who is genuinely curious about business, understands the broader workforce environment and wants to become a trusted strategic adviser to corporate clients.

You'll work with an established portfolio of Australian and international businesses, helping them navigate immigration requirements while developing a deeper understanding of their workforce strategies, growth plans and commercial challenges.

We want someone who recognises that an immigration conversation can open the door to much broader discussions around international expansion, workforce mobility, employment structures, payroll, compliance and business operations.

You'll have the opportunity to work alongside specialists across Xemplo's broader services, connecting clients with the right expertise and helping deliver integrated solutions.

Importantly, we're looking for someone who wants to contribute to the growth of the practice, build meaningful client relationships and play a role in shaping our international advisory capabilities.

This isn't simply an opportunity to join a legal practice. It's an prospect to help build a modern, internationally focused legal and workforce advisory business.

What we're looking for

We're seeking a capable immigration lawyer who is equally comfortable discussing legal technicalities and understanding the commercial priorities of a business.

You'll ideally bring

- A Bachelor of Laws or equivalent qualification and a current unrestricted NSW practising certificate.
- Strong experience in Australian corporate immigration law,



sponsorship obligations and skilled migration.
- Excellent technical capability and sound professional judgement.
- Experience advising corporate clients, preferably including multinational businesses.
- Strong relationship management skills and confidence engaging with senior executives.

- An innovative mindset and an interest in how technology can transform professional services.
- The confidence to work independently, collaborate across disciplines and take ownership of client outcomes.

Above all, we're looking for someone who is intellectually curious, commercially ambitious and interested in understanding how businesses operate beyond their immediate legal requirements.

You don't need to be an expert in payroll, HR technology, employment law or staffing. But you should be excited by the opportunity to understand how these disciplines connect and how that knowledge can make you a more valuable adviser to clients.
