Our Journey & Stories

My PLT experience at AHC Lawyers was incredibly rewarding, thanks in large part to the guidance and support from Meryl and Angela. Working closely with Meryl, I gained invaluable insights into client engagement and the practical aspects of immigration law, benefiting from her approachability and professional expertise. Angela, an accredited specialist, deepened my understanding of immigration law through hands-on tasks, showcasing the importance of ethical practice and excellence.

The firm’s culture of collaboration and mentorship fostered a learning environment that was both supportive and challenging, enabling me to grow professionally. I am grateful for the meaningful experiences and the constructive feedback that shaped my journey. The mentorship from Meryl and Angela was instrumental in my development, leaving a lasting impact on my legal career aspirations.

Thank you, AHC Lawyers, for a truly enriching internship. I look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future.

After spending a couple of months working as a PLT at Agape Henry Crux, I truly cannot thank everyone in the firm enough. The opportunities and guidance I received have left a lasting impact and will shape my future legal career.

The firm's commitment to ethical practices, and dedication to clients' success has inspired me. Serving as a remarkable example for aspiring legal practitioners like myself. I was deeply impressed by the firm's high level of professionalism and expertise displayed by the team, and the positive work culture fostered a sense of belonging and collaboration. If you have a curious mind and willingness to learn, you will definitely have an enriched experience like mine.

The guidance and mentorship I received from my supervisor and Accredited Specialist, Angela De Silva together with the entire team has been priceless in building my skills and confidence. I was entrusted with plenty of meaningful tasks and the constructive feedback helped me grow as an individual and legal intern. The support and patience shown by everyone at Agape Henry Crux throughout my internship are greatly appreciated, and I am eager to apply the lessons learned as I embark on my journey as a lawyer. I am grateful for the support everyone provided me throughout my internship. Thank you all!

After a stringent selection process, I was employed on minimum wage as a Registered Migration Agent for a law graduate who was completing their Practical Legal Training. I spent 3 months in this position and I had noticed that the firm didn't hire based on the skills of the person, instead they paid close attention to whether the individual fit within our culture. After 3 months, I was offered a 6-figure base salary as a Senior Associate. On top of my base, I get a monthly bonus, yearly bonus and I’m definitely not complaining about the iphones for birthdays and Christmas pressie.

Having owned my own education and migration agency prior to joining this firm, I did not know how lucrative this industry was until I joined this firm. I also found out that there was much more to immigration and administrative law than what I once thought it was. I have learnt much more during my time here than if I were to continue my own agency.

After 1.5 years, I was offered equity within the firm.

Agape is a great place to work! Here is a list of reasons why: Family friendly, great co-workers, friendly environment, lots of training opportunities, senior staff really care that juniors and others are happy and motivated, and many more. I am a paid intern finishing off my law degree. Of course, there are times I had stay back late and skip lunch breaks, but I am delighted to be part of Agape because of its good reputation in the industry as well as all the generous benefits offered. On one birthday, I got an iphone 8 and the following birthday, I got an iphone X. Receiving a surface pro for my graduation was indeed memorable but receiving cash bonus on the one occasion, simply because my supervising associate conducted himself in an apparently less than kind manner. Nevertheless, the perks of having my own Spotify and Netflix rocks, etc.) Upon admission, I am looking forward to being a senior position directly under an Accredited Specialists, without having to climb up the ranks. Not only do I feel like I am a valued intern (at some point, I get spoilt with everything), I am inspired by my peers and seniors to stay motivated every day and reach for the stars!!!!

Agape provides an environment where employees can thrive in their work, including a spacious office with panoramic views of the city and state of the art technology. The culture is collegiate and the firm encourages teamwork and exceptional service to clients. During my time at Agape, I have been exposed to a range of cases including some extremely complex immigration issues. It has been a privilege to have the opportunity to work on such complex cases, and I have increased by knowledge of immigration law immensely. For someone who is prepared to put in the hard work required to excel in this industry, the rewards are enormous. There are monthly bonuses, flexible working arrangements, company mobile and laptop that can be taken offsite, daily breakfast prepared in-house, weekly massages, free snacks, and free transport home in Uber S Class when working late. There is also ongoing support and mentorship from the principle solicitor and founder of the firm, as well as private weekends training sessions. I have been given the opportunity to learn from the most senior lawyer in the firm who was always prepared to step in when there was a problem I couldn’t handle. I have learnt and grown immensely as a professional and I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work at Agape.

Working at Agape is a great pleasure for me. The thing I appreciate most about the company is that it has given me the opportunity to work in a pleasant multicultural environment with colleagues from different parts of the world. Everyone at Agape is smart, energetic, and fun to work with. I have enjoyed every bit of my time here, and greatly value the experience I have gained in the role. The management is quite friendly, supportive and inspirational and continues to push me to reach my potential with challenges and opportunities to learn and grow along with the organization. Thanks for letting me work at this successful company that I would recommend to anyone. I am proud to be part of Agape.

Agape has been a fantastic leap in my career. I started off my journey in Agape as an unpaid IT intern with no experience at all and ended my time here in a paid position with knowledge and skills I will cherish for the rest of my life. However, the road that I took with Agape was not easy. The work load that is expected is huge and the pressure is high, which caused me to up-skill myself in a short period of time. This meant that I spent hours, after work to complete task and even spending my own time at home to help up-skill and prepare myself for the next upcoming task. Some nights I did question if I could keep up with the demand. But my effect wasn’t gone unseen. For my effects, Agape made sure that I had comfortable experience providing me with breakfast, freedom within the company and most valuable to me, taking me under their wing and mentoring me how companies work and how to be successful in my career. Using this knowledge provided from Agape, I manage to land a high paying Engineering role. I can’t thank Agape enough for what they have done for me and for giving me a chance to prove myself within their company. Through my time in Agape, I work with some wonderful and amazing people. All friendly and ready, if they have time, to answer question and have a good laugh with you. Overall the experience I had was just unreal and life changing. Agape doesn’t just help people emigrate. It helps change lives! Like it has for me, thank you so much.

Being a part of the Agape team was a challenging yet greatly rewarding and refining experience. Once you're a part of the team, you'll be taken to be a part of the family, nurtured, be involved in real cases, sharpened in your knowledge and encouraged to grow.

I first joined Agape as a PLT intern with little knowledge in immigration law, but it was clear that they placed greater value in people who showed loyalty and fit within the familial culture of the firm. Throughout my time there, they invested in me to grow in technical knowledge and engagement with clients to eventually handling my own client list as an Associate.

Their dedication to become experts in their craft and train others to be the same is subpar to none other. From the top down, you can see the drive and passion for immigration law that each person has in helping save lives, which ultimately sets them apart
