Lou Lungo

During his time with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, he was appointed as a Supreme Court Arraignments Crown, where he managed and prepared a large volume of serious indictable matters, including numerous murder trials. This experience equipped him with a detailed understanding of the Crown case in complex prosecutions, as well as strategic considerations that arise in serious criminal litigation.

Since returning to the private Bar, Lou has maintained a broad criminal practice across all jurisdictions, appearing in matters ranging from Local Court proceedings to significant District and Supreme Court trials. He has a particular interest in serious criminal work, including homicide matters, and draws on his prosecutorial background to approach cases with thorough preparation and a clear strategic focus.

Lou is a hardworking and direct advocate, who combines practical judgment with a strong commitment to his clients. Approachable and reliable, he values clear communication with both clients and instructing solicitors. In court, he relishes the challenge of cross-examination and is recognised for his effective and confident advocacy.

Outside the law, Lou has a longstanding passion for music, having performed in blues bands for over three decades. He is also a qualified yoga teacher, a discipline in which he continues to maintain a regular personal practice.
