ProActive Legal

ProActive Legal is an Australian law practice with a particular focus on immigration law. Principal lawyer David Gu is an accredited specialist in immigration law in New South Wales, and the firm also has lawyers and advisers associated with Melbourne and Brisbane. Clients may seek assistance with both routine applications and difficult legal situations involving refusals, cancellation decisions or administrative and judicial review.

Individual migration work encompasses family-based applications, skilled pathways, temporary visas and citizenship matters. These can require very different evidence and legal assessments. The team considers the circumstances of each applicant, including the relationship or employment issues that may affect eligibility, before discussing an appropriate way to prepare and present the matter.

The firm also advises organisations on employer-sponsored immigration and compliance. Employers need to understand the obligations connected with a sponsorship or nomination, while prospective employees need clear information about the immigration criteria relevant to their position. Where a government decision is disputed, legal advice may address review rights, deadlines and the reasoning underlying that decision.

Beyond immigration, the practice undertakes conveyancing and property matters, estate litigation and other disputes.
