Partner Rhys Munzel first joined the firm as a lawyer and patent attorney in 2017 and was promoted to senior associate in 2020.

 
 

He advises on matters involving technology commercialisation, IP ownership and infringement, IT procurement, and general contracts — and spent more than a decade at IP Australia before joining the firm.

Mr Munzel has also led a number of firm-wide initiatives. He led the development of FAL IP — the firm’s dedicated intellectual property practice. He has also played an integral part in the development of Flying Start Up, an online legal service for technology start-ups.  

FAL Lawyers founding partner Peter Francis said he was excited to welcome Mr Munzel to the partnership.

“We are very lucky to have Rhys as part of FAL Lawyers. His elevation to the partnership reflects the important contribution he has made to our firm,” he said.

“Rhys’s innovative, client-centred approach to his work sets a fantastic example for our lawyers and reflects our firm’s values and vision.”
