Specialised. Memorable. Precise.
A new kind of firm in a changing market, built by lawyers who made the same journey many of our clients are making.
Founded in 2014, by lawyers who migrated here themselves.
SLAW began under the name SWIVIVA as a registered migration agency. That origin still shapes how the firm works: we have been through the process our clients are going through, and we advise accordingly.
We are a firm in a challenging and constantly changing market, where we help clients overcome their most complex legal issues. Our people have a keen vision, varied legal backgrounds and training, and bring with them the ability to apply generalist skills flexibly to unique or specialist areas, spotting and providing workable solutions to niche challenges.

How we practise
Local firm, global mindset
