‘Winning Woman Lawyer of the Year 2016 in the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) & Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander category was a great confidence boost at a time when I had recently started my own legal practice, Welcome Legal, as a sole practitioner. I provide advice and assistance to the community and to other legal practitioners about Australian immigration and citizenship law. It is satisfying to see the firm go from strength to strength and I’m proud to now be a CALD woman employing other CALD women. I would highly encourage entering the 2018 Awards.’

~ Liz Huang Hughes-Brown, Founder and Principal Lawyer at Welcome Legal
