APAC Insider- Legal Awards 2025 | 4 A specialist Australian immigration law firm offering a comprehensive suite of services to individuals, families, and businesses alike, One Planet Migration Law is a purpose-driven practice guided by the shared belief that migration is continuing to enrich the social and economic fabric of modern society. This is reflected in the firm’s mission: to connect humanity, one visa at a time. As the woman behind both this mission and the firm itself, we caught up with Tina Masrour to find out more. Migration has been a key part of humanity’s story for millions of years, and yet, it is today more politicised and controversial than at any point in recent history. Bucking the trend of this false, negative narrative, Tina Masrour has been motivated to change the way people think about immigration and demonstrate just how powerful and unifying a force it can be since beginning her career in this space more than 15 years ago. On the back of both this commitment and her wealth of personal practice experience, Tina established One Planet Migration law in 2023, as a way of continuing to uphold her vision of a brighter future for people around the world. Joining Tina on this mission is the team of equally dedicated professionals behind the firm, who share 70 years of collective experience. Together, these changemakers offer their expertise, ethical advocacy, and strategic immigration advice to clients in more than 50 countries globally. In the corporate environment, these clients range from SMEs and healthcare providers through to multinationals and Fortune 500 companies, all of which are supported with everything from business sponsorship immigration to Australia through to negotiating tailored visa programmes, otherwise known as ‘Labour Agreements’, aligning immigration planning with the needs of the workforce, and even supporting post-visa settlement through partner referrals. Outside of corporate clients, One Planet Migration Law also prides itself on helping thousands of individuals aiming to make their move to Australia a reality. Whether this involves delivering visa services for skilled workers, securing humanitarian visas for those facing serious harm, or promoting successful outcomes in complex and time-sensitive cases involving individuals, Tina and the team here will do whatever it takes to ensure their clients are afforded the highest possible standard of service. Exploring this in more detail, Tina told us: “Delivering an exceptional level of service is at the core of our practice. We are known for being approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in each client’s success. This deep sense of responsibility drives us to think creatively and strategically, resulting in us going beyond offering just legal advice to instead deliver tailored and practical solutions to meet clients’ unique needs.” As touched on in the beginning, migration is a hot topic, and that means One Planet Migration Law must navigate the array of challenges and opportunities that comes from working in this environment. Shedding some more light on these, Tina explained how migration can help address Australia’s national workforce shortages across key areas such as healthcare education, construction, hospitality, and technology. However, the challenge lies in the impact of significant processing delays, stemming from the Department of Home Affairs. Tina commented: “These delays have created uncertainty for businesses and hardship for individuals, requiring us to remain agile and proactive in managing client expectations and advocating for timely outcomes.” This is simply the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the balance of challenge and opportunity brought about by one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas of legal practice, a landscape One Planet Migration Law takes great pride in its ability to navigate. For Tina and co., the firm’s ability to do this so well, and have a tangible impact on people’s lives in the process, is the most rewarding aspect of their work. Another example of this is the pro bono work the firm carries out, for which it has received our Pro Bono Excellence Award 2025. Diving deeper into this, Tina said: “We actively take on pro bono matters for individuals facing significant vulnerability – including refugees, survivors of family and domestic violence, and stateless persons – ensuring that access to justice is never dependent on financial means.” This is something One Planet Migration Law is keen on working towards for the rest of 2025 and beyond. Balancing commercial value with societal impact, this Australian law firm is distinguished as a result of its experience, compassion, and impact-driven approach to legal practice.
