About

FAL Lawyers (Francis Abourizk Lightowlers) is a boutique, client-focused law firm specialising in research, innovation and associated sectors. We are strategic advisors, who develop deep and long-lasting relationships with our clients - those researching, innovating and commercialising technology.

Since 1993, we have operated at the cutting edge of law in areas such as emerging technologies, genetic manipulation and the environment. We are recognised as leaders in technology commercialisation, with particular expertise in intellectual property, structuring research collaborations and licensing. However, we are also experienced commercial lawyers.

Renowned for personalised service, accessibility, responsiveness and value for money, our experienced team provides practical solutions to legal problems. We are also known for commercially-savvy legal documentation in plain English.

Our deep knowledge and extensive industry network provide a competitive edge for those seeking to turn scientific theory into commercial reality. It also gives us a real advantage when advising on legal and commercial strategy.
