About Arnela

Arnela Tolic is the Principal Solicitor at Tolic Lawyers, bringing a comprehensive understanding of migration law informed by her personal experience as a first-generation migrant. Her legal practice is grounded in a client-focused approach, delivering practical and strategic advice tailored to the complexities of migration matters. Arnela’s expertise encompasses a wide range of migration pathways, including employer-sponsored visas such as subclass 482, 186, 494, and 400, as well as company-specific and industry labour agreements and Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA). She also guides clients through skilled migration routes, partner visa applications, VACCU submissions, and appeals involving visa refusals and cancellations through the Administrative Review Tribunal and Ministerial Intervention. Beyond her direct client work, Arnela is recognised for her contributions to professional education, having developed and delivered over 60 continuing professional development sessions for migration agents and legal practitioners, focusing on emerging challenges and developments within migration law. Complementing her migration practice, Arnela provides advice on employment law matters including unfair dismissal, workplace disputes, contracts, and compliance. She also assists with family law issues such as parenting arrangements, property settlements, and cross-border family disputes. This integrated approach enables Arnela and Tolic Lawyers to support clients facing interconnected legal issues, particularly migrants dealing with complex personal and employment-related concerns.
