Lander & Rogers

Lander & Rogers is a leading independent Australian law firm with over 800 people across offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Canberra. Founded in 1946, the firm has evolved over 80 years to become one of Australia's premier commercial law firms, delivering practical, commercial legal advice grounded in a deep understanding of clients' needs across both private and public sectors.

Core Legal Services

The firm advises across a comprehensive range of practice areas including mergers and acquisitions, corporate law (including competition and finance), disputes and litigation, employment and workplace relations, real estate and projects, construction and infrastructure, government advisory, insurance and financial services, intellectual property, regulatory and compliance, and family and relationship law. Their multi-disciplinary approach allows them to provide end-to-end legal solutions for medium to large enterprises.

Blockchain and Digital Assets Expertise

Lander & Rogers stands out as one of the few Australian law firms with deep expertise in blockchain and distributed ledger technology. Their blockchain lawyers combine comprehensive technical knowledge with the expertise of a leading commercial law firm, providing legal and commercial advice to technology founders, startups, foreign blockchain businesses entering Australia, and established companies launching blockchain projects. The firm advises on smart legal contracts, financial products and cryptocurrencies (including crypto recovery), retail supply chain applications, real estate tokenization, data sharing and storage solutions, and privacy and intellectual property matters related to blockchain technology. Two of their lawyers and one board member sit on the Standards Australia Smart Contracts Working Group, helping establish universal smart legal contract standards for the International Standards Organisation. The firm is a member of Blockchain Australia, the peak industry body representing Australian businesses in the digital economy.

Innovation and Legal Technology Leadership

Innovation is integral to how Lander & Rogers operates. In 2019, the firm founded two significant initiatives: the LawTech Hub, an award-winning immersion program where lawyers and technology startups collaborate on legal-tech innovations, and the iHub, a multidisciplinary team of lawyers, digital designers, and business specialists who co-design solutions for real legal and commercial problems. The firm actively invests in legal technology, data-driven insights, and new service delivery models, enabling them to improve efficiency, enhance quality, and respond quickly to evolving client needs. They also operate an AI Lab focusing on artificial intelligence applications in legal practice.
