Mark Youssef - Senior Family Lawyer

Biography

Before joining Armstrong Legal, Mark was exposed to a wide range of areas of the law at previous firms, including civil litigation, wills and estates. Mark now applies this knowledge and skill exclusively to the practice of family law and its related areas.

He was admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW in 2005 and later the High Court of Australia. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Macquarie University, majoring in philosophy and political science, and a Master of Law and Legal Practice degree from the University of Technology, Sydney, majoring in family law.

While his caseload is predominantly based on property matters, Mark also has a commitment to parenting matters. In that regard, he has successfully completed training to become an Independent Children’s Lawyer, and has taken part in previous Law Week activities by visiting local schools to educate children about the law.

In addition to his work, Mark has also volunteered at a community legal centre to provide legal advice to people with limited financial resources, and his strong interest in legal education leads him to present seminars on various topics relating to family law to private institutions and community groups.

Mark is a proud and respected member of the Sydney Coptic community, and speaks fluent Arabic.
