Our History
Matthews Folbigg has grown rapidly since its early beginnings in 1962 when two brothers, Brian and John Folbigg, established one of the first specialist property law practices in Parramatta.
Paul Matthews began his practice in Blacktown in 1970, specialising in areas of proprty and commercial law. The two practices merged in 1997 to form Matthews Folbigg.
Today, Matthews Folbigg is a young and dynamic law firm providing a complete range of legal services throughout Western Sydney and beyond.

We partner with community based charities that make an impact in our local area – and we can see the difference our contributions make to the people that these organizations assist. Through the firms Charitable Giving Committee, we review dozens of proposals from our staff to assist local charity projects, and we provide financial and non-financial assistance to a huge range of worthwhile projects and programs.
We have made a long term commitment to partner with the Parramatta Mission. By way of example, our efforts have enabled emergency accommodation for victims of domestic violence to be comfortably furnished, and for homeless people in our local area to get a wholesome meal.
We have helped organise, and actively participate in and promote, the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal in the Greater West of Sydney. We have also provided financial and administrative support to the Salvation Army.
Our lawyers regularly commit their time and expertise to a number of local community legal centres free of charge.
