Co-Author of Three Worlds.
International advocate on a journey.
Following an admission in the Supreme Court of Queensland as the youngest lawyer in Southern Hemisphere history that received national Australian coverage and earned him a congressional commendation from the House of Representatives of the Republic of the Philippines, Jozef practised for three years as a solicitor specialised in commercial litigation and dispute resolution.
Then, after graduating from a Master of Laws specialised in Public International Law with High Distinction at the Australian National University, he completed a Master’s Degree in Corporate Law at the University of Cambridge where he served as Associate Editor of the Cambridge Law Review.
He went on to successfully sweep a gauntlet of bar examinations around the world, consisting of the New York Uniform Bar Examination, the Bar Transfer Test for Admission to the Bar of England and Wales, and the Queensland Bar Examinations.
In 2023, Jozef co-authored Three Worlds, a historical fiction novel set across three generations of his family line spanning a range of eras and experiences. Later that year, he was called as a barrister of Queensland (Australia) and England & Wales.
His pending admission as a New York attorney marks the next milestone on his journey to becoming an international advocate positioned to make a difference in jurisdictions around the world, especially for the voiceless and marginalised.
In the meantime, he enjoys assisting local communities in their navigation of the law while continuing to cultivate his skills as an advocate, writer, and social artist at the head of Society M3.
