Fisher Adams Kelly Melbourne partner Mr Andrew Cale said the new premises – located on Level 3, 501 La Trobe Street – will support the firm’s expanding presence and operations in Victoria.
“The relocation of our office into the heart of the city’s legal district is the culmination of an exciting few months for our team,” he said.
“This move is the latest step in the ongoing development of our business in Victoria as our client and staff base continues to grow.”
Coinciding with this week’s office move, Mr Cale said he was also delighted to welcome experienced special counsel, Mr Neil Murray, to the Melbourne team.

“We are extremely excited by Neil’s appointment which will strengthen our expertise in electronics, computer software, information and communications technology, and business methods,” he said.
“Neil has spent many years preparing patent and trade mark applications for clients seeking rights in Australia and internationally. He has attended interviews and oral proceedings at the United States and European patent offices – experience that will further support our clients seeking patents and trade marks overseas.”
Since establishing its Melbourne presence in January 2007, Fisher Adams Kelly has steadily grown its practice, building a loyal client base and solid reputation for excellence across multiple specialist areas.
Fisher Adams Kelly’s managing partner Dr Mark Horsburgh said the office relocation and Neil’s appointment were both positive signs for the future, delivering significant benefits to all of the firm’s clients.
“We are very pleased to share this news, which will directly support our client partnerships in this market,” Dr Horsburgh said.
“The new premises will not only allow us to increase the size and strength of our team, with senior appointments such as Neil’s, but also provide our staff and clients with greater accessibility and outstanding amenities in a convenient location in Central Melbourne.
“We now have greater capacity to expand our team and, in turn, extend our capability of services to support the evolving needs of our clients.”
Neil has a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical/Electronic) and Graduate Diploma in Computer Science from the University of Adelaide. A fellow of the Institute of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, Neil is also a member of the Intellectual Property Society of Australia and New Zealand, American Intellectual Property Law Association, Institution of Engineers Australia and Australian Computer Society.
