Francisca Wong

Associate

Francisca began her career in the fast-paced world of consultancy, working with both small businesses and Big Four accounting firms. After assisting government departments with complex business challenges, Francisca pivoted back into the legal industry as a practising lawyer to pursue her passion for advocacy.

Having worked across the private sector as a consultant and in the not-for-profit sector as an in-house lawyer, Francisca brings a rare mix of commercial insight and legal expertise to her role. These experiences now serve her clients well as one of the most detail-oriented and client-focused female lawyers in Canberra.

The first quality Francisca brings is an ability to meet the high expectations of the Courts with confidence and precision. She has refined this skill through years of advising clients in demanding environments and now applies it in court to clearly and persuasively present why her client’s position is the right one.

The second is her ability to manage multiple, competing expectations simultaneously. With a calm and reassuring presence, Francisca ensures that every matter is completed on time and to an exceptionally high standard. These qualities distinguish her among female criminal defence lawyers in Canberra.

Third, clients can expect clear, thoughtful explanations of their legal issues in simple and direct terms. Her background in consulting and legal advisory work enables her to communicate complex matters concisely and persuasively to achieve the right results.

Since joining Andrew Byrnes Law Group, Francisca has taken to criminal law like a duck to water. She has quickly demonstrated a natural aptitude for defence work, earning praise for her composure, preparation, and persuasive advocacy.
