Riaz Haffejee is an Australian Solicitor and Registered Migration Agent.

He works as an independent consultant with Shada Migration and Education Services, a migration firm that offers a full suite of migration services, especially to the Iranian community. At Shada he deals with all aspects of skilled migration and protection visa applications.

Riaz also has over 14 years’ experience as a lawyer in South Africa where he handled thousands of cases, in a deadline driven, litigation environment. His experience extends to consulting with clients, preparing case documentation, drafting correspondence and court documents, writing legal opinion, advocacy in court and settlement negotiations.

He attributes his past success as a lawyer in South Africa, and growth in his current role as an Australian migration agent, to a strong skillset, that includes analytical, time management and organisational skills. Clients and colleagues appreciate his empathy, technical knowledge, attention to detail and commitment to delivering results.

Away from the office, Riaz is active in community initiatives for the upliftment and integration of migrants in Australia. He volunteers at a free migration advice bureau, and also convenes English conversation classes for migrants who wish to improve their ability to communicate in English.
