Mark McCauley is an Australian lawyer born in Sydney who was admitted to the bar in 1977 and worked as a partner at the international law firm Baker & McKenzie. His professional life is associated with the legal profession of New South Wales, where the Law Society of New South Wales represents and regulates solicitors.
Education
McCauley was admitted to the bar in Australia in 1977, a qualification that enabled him to practise law. His subsequent career as a lawyer followed from that admission.
Career
McCauley's documented professional career centred on Baker & McKenzie, where he worked as a partner. The firm was founded in Chicago in 1949 by Russell Baker and John McKenzie, and it became known as the first multinational law firm in the world.
The firm expanded abroad early in its history, opening its first overseas office in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1955. Melbourne became its 30th office in 1982, and the firm later became best known for cross-border trading and tax law expertise.
Membership
McCauley was a member of the Law Society of New South Wales, the professional association for solicitors in New South Wales. The society was formalised in 1884 as the Incorporated Law Institute of New South Wales, and it was renamed the Law Society of New South Wales in 1960.
The society began publishing the Law Society Journal in 1963 and now has statutory powers to regulate the practice of law in the state.
