FAL Lawyers
About Company
FAL Lawyers was founded in Melbourne in 1993 and has grown to become one of Australia’s leading boutique commercial and technology law firms.
FAL Lawyers grew out of SIROTECH, the CSIRO’s technology transfer company. Having been a part of SIROTECH, founding partners Peter Francis and Jenni Lightowlers founded FAL Lawyers to make legal support for innovation and technology commercialisation more accessible and effective.
Our approach is reflected in our mission: creating value for our clients, our people and the community.
We are recognised as the leading legal experts in research and technology commercialisation. We support innovation, and have partnered with a diverse array of organisations to help them turn their life-changing inventions into a commercial reality.
Over the years, we have branched out to specialise in other areas of commercial law, including:
• Corporate
• Construction
• Insolvency & litigation
• Start-Ups
• Not-For-Profit
• Health
• Government
We regularly advise several Commonwealth and State government departments, funded research bodies and cooperative research centres.
We also work with many clients in the health space – including hospitals, companies, and Cooperative Research Centres.
As a law firm, we pride ourselves on offering more than just legal advice. Our holistic legal solutions add value to your business and give clarity on the best way forward for your organisation.
Through our diverse array of experience and expertise, we can tailor our legal solutions to meet your organisation’s unique needs.
