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 property and commercial law. The two practices merged in 1997 to form Matthews Folbigg.
