About Peter Maatouk Being a father to 5 beautiful young children of his own, who tragically lost their mother to cancer at a very young age, his children are his world, and when he heard that NSW Private Schools were attempting to mandate Vaccinations on year 12 HSC students in order to allow them to return to school to attend their exams, he was furious. This sparked and ignited Mr Maatouk to stand up for the Civil Rights and liberties of the Australian people. Not only was he successful in having such mandates withdrawn, but he also was able to obtain exemptions for all HSC students to attend their end of year graduations in NSW. Mr Maatouk along with his team led the fight for Civil Rights in Australia during the Covid 19 lock down period. Not only did he dedicate his time and firm to thousands of hours of free Pro Bono work, but he touched and saved the lives of thousands of Australian’s during this difficult time. Maatouks Law Group was the only firm in Australia, and quite possibly the world, to win the right to a merits-based review of Covid 19 Mandates in NSW. Mr Maatouk does not give up and is not frightened from speaking up and fighting for justice and continues his fight in Australia. The actions of Mr Maatouk not only renewed public trust in the legal profession but set a high standard for other legal practitioners.
