Faculti Lawyers has been created to serve an important and growing part of the legal services market: recurring legal work for institutional clients.

That work is sometimes described as business-as-usual legal work. Others may describe it as high-volume or portfolio legal services. However it is described, it is work that matters. It includes recurring property and leasing transactions, financier and bank recoveries, aged care portfolio work, insurance and workers compensation matters, and other large portfolios of legal work that require accuracy, consistency, efficiency and disciplined risk management.

Faculti Lawyers has been created because we believe this part of the legal services market requires its own focus, systems and culture.

As the legal industry becomes more sophisticated, the distinction between complex bespoke advisory work and recurring portfolio legal work has become increasingly important. Both require excellent lawyers. Both require judgement. Both require care. But they require different models, different systems, different training, different technology and different ways of managing work.

Faculti Lawyers is built for that purpose.

It specialises in large portfolios of institutional legal work across sectors including property, finance, insurance, government and aged care. Its role is to help clients manage recurring legal work in the lowest-risk, highest-quality and most cost-effective way possible.

That means combining legal expertise with engineered workflows, clear account management, disciplined reporting, quality assurance and technology-enabled delivery. It also means building teams who understand the difference between work that can move quickly through a well-designed process and work that requires escalation, judgement or specialist legal intervention.

Faculti Lawyers is not simply a lower-cost model. It is a specialist legal platform for recurring, important work at scale.

Technology is central to its future. Faculti Lawyers uses best-practice technology and is also supported by our own AI-enabled platform, FAI. FAI has been developed to support the way Faculti’s lawyers work: helping them deliver institutional portfolio legal services with greater speed, consistency, insight and cost-effectiveness.

The purpose of that technology is not to replace legal judgement. It is to support it. It helps our people manage large volumes of work more intelligently, identify patterns and exceptions, improve reporting, reduce friction and deliver better outcomes for clients.

We are very excited about Faculti Lawyers because we believe it has the potential to become one of Australia’s pre-eminent providers of business-as-usual and portfolio legal services.

It reflects a simple idea: serious legal work at scale deserves a serious legal model built specifically for it.

Faculti Lawyers has its origins in Thomsons and in practice areas we have always taken seriously. Within Thomsons, these practice areas were respected and important. But we believe they will be stronger with their own ecosystem: their own focus, recruitment and training model, systems, technology roadmap and market position. That is why Faculti Lawyers has been established with its own identity, while remaining part of the broader Thomsons family.
