Director

Accredited Commercial Law Specialist and OFRM Lawyers Director Lachlan Edwards is able to work with you and your business to take care of your legal needs, whether that’s working on current issues or setting you up to avoid problems in the future. 

Lachlan was named in the 2025 and 2026 Doyle’s Guide as a leading Agribusiness Lawyer in Victoria, recognised among the top agribusiness specialists in the state. OFRM Lawyers are the only Bendigo Lawyer to receive this recognition. 

His practice is broad and hands-on, helping businesses start up, grow, navigate problems and manage exits, with a particular focus on the region’s farming families and agribusiness operators, from succession and structuring through to day-to-day commercial matters. Beyond the firm Lachlan serves on two local boards as Director of the Be.Bendigo business chamber, and Company Secretary of Bendigo Stadium Limited.

Lachlan’s approach is simple: commercially-minded solutions viewed through a legal lens, that actually add value to your business.

“Having grown up in the NSW Riverina and now calling Bendigo home, I’m passionate about regional Australian life and about helping businesses here succeed, particularly those in agriculture that are the backbone of our region.”
