Mark qualified as a solicitor in 1992, having previously spent almost a decade working in the banking industry. On qualification he joined his father’s firm of Molloy Fayle Tyndall and Company in Dublin, thereby becoming the fourth generation of the same family to work in the firm. Realising the potential that existed in Greystones for future expansion, the firm opened a full-time office in Greystones in 1992 and it is there that Mark has practices since.

In 1995 the firm of Molloy Fayle Tyndall and Company merged with the Wicklow firm of Augustus Cullen and Son and, with the exception of a couple of years spent working in the Wicklow office, Mark continued to practice in Greystones, where he eventually met Paul McKnight and where he and Paul had the responsibility of running the Greystones branch office of the Wicklow firm. In 2003, this branch office was acquired by Paul and Mark and it was renamed Felton McKnight Solicitors.
