DMAW Lawyers

Like many businesses in the hospitality industry, we have faced significant challenges in recruiting qualified staff since COVID, particularly chefs. At the Gumeracha Hotel in the Adelaide Hills, we urgently needed a chef and exhausted several recruitment avenues, including local advertising, Facebook, and Seek, without success. Fortunately, our Head Chef knew an excellent candidate; however, her visa was due to expire, and we needed assistance to sponsor her employment. Through our membership with the Australian Hotels Association, we were referred to DMAW Lawyers for guidance with the sponsorship process. Matthew Fisher from DMAW Lawyers provided clear information regarding the sponsorship requirements, process, and associated costs. While he explained that it was possible to complete the application independently, he was honest about the time and complexity involved. I initially attempted to manage the process myself, but after completing the first stages, I quickly realised how challenging and time-consuming it was. Amanda and I are extremely grateful to Matthew and his team for their support throughout the sponsorship process. Their professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness were outstanding. The volume of documentation required is substantial, and having a knowledgeable team guide us through each step made an enormous difference. While the cost of engaging professional assistance may seem significant at first, I can confidently say that the time saved, reduced stress, and peace of mind were well worth the investment. DMAW Lawyers made what could have been a very difficult process straightforward and manageable. I highly recommend DMAW Lawyers to any business seeking assistance with employee sponsorship and visa-related matters.

Very helpful and understanding of the situation. Also, worked with me to speed the process and make the matter urgent.

Cherie from DMAW lawyers was very efficient and did everything in a timely manner when Conveyancing for my mother's deceased estate. She was able to support me with clear instructions and information along every step of the process which reduced my anxiety at a stressful time in my life as executor of my mother's will. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a conveyancer.

I had a wonderful experience working with DMAW Lawyers, especially with Cherie. She was professional, efficient, and always patient in explaining every step of the process. Her support made the entire property purchase smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and professional legal team!

I’ve use this company a couple of times and found them very professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended

DMAW Lawyers are a true asset to Adelaide. They are polished and knowledgeable lawyers but also warm, welcoming and accessible. I was lucky enough to enjoy a 2 week exchange with the firm as part of the Meritas 2024 exchange program. I was treated like one of their own during this time and the number of people who have spent much of their careers at this firm demonstrates how well they treat their people. A special shout out to Bernice Witkowsi, Nicole Mead, Steph Maurangi, Callum Ritchie and Seva Surmei for making me feel welcome and showing me the best of Adelaide.

We first used DMAW Lawyers just to help us update our client contracts, and the experience was so positive that we are now engaging them to do more of our legal work for our company. They were very accommodating and patient with us, and the quality of work and customer service has been nothing short of amazing.
