Hon Michael Sukkar

Australia, 03 December 2025 —  In a significant development for Trademark Group’s advisory arm, The Hon Michael Sukkar has joined the Board, bringing with him extensive experience in high-level government responsibilities across housing, taxation, and economic policy.

Michael’s Public Service Background

Michael has had a distinguished career in the Australian Parliament, where he held several senior ministerial positions, including:

  • Minister for Housing
  • Minister for Homelessness, Social and Community Housing
  • Assistant Treasurer

Across these roles, he played a central role in shaping national policy related to taxation reform, housing strategy, economic management, infrastructure planning, and community development. His responsibilities placed him at the heart of major reform efforts that continue to influence Australia’s economic and social landscape.

Strengthening Trademark Advisory’s Global Direction

Michael’s transition to Trademark Advisory comes at a pivotal time for the organisation. With expanding activity across Australia, the GCC, the UK, and New Zealand, the firm is increasingly engaged in large-scale development, investment, and cross-border partnership initiatives. His understanding of how government priorities intersect with commercial outcomes adds significant depth to this work.

Colleagues frequently note Michael’s practical approach to policy, his familiarity with regulatory processes, and his ability to navigate complex decision-making environments. These strengths align closely with Trademark Advisory’s focus on international market engagement, urban development, and infrastructure-led projects.

Working alongside Hon. Joel Fitzgibbon GAICD, Sam Jamsheedi, and other senior leaders, Michael will contribute to shaping strategic priorities and advancing global partnerships across the organisation’s key markets.

Trademark Group says it looks forward to collaborating with Michael as the firm continues to broaden its international presence and deliver meaningful outcomes for clients and partners around the world.
