AUS to US Transition

Roadmap: Your Roadmap to the US Legal Market

Making the move from Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane to a major US legal hub requires strategic timing and insider knowledge. Here is how we navigate the journey with you.

We start with a confidential consultation to understand your practice area, seniority, and geographic preferences (New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, or emerging hubs like Austin). We then map your Australian experience against the specific needs of elite US firms.

The US market loves Australian lawyers, and the E-3 visa is the reason why.

• No Cap, No Lottery: Exclusively for Australian citizens in specialty occupations.
• Spousal Working Rights: Your spouse is eligible to apply for work authorization upon arrival.
• Speed: Processing times are significantly faster than other visa categories, meaning you can often start your new role in a matter of months.
