Neutral ProfileMark helps parties achieve workable solutions to business disputes. He uses his extensive trial skills in his evaluative method of mediation. In a profession where linear thinking can be the norm, this makes him distinct. Because he has seen all sides and types of outcomes in the many trials — and even more mediations — he has conducted, he is able to help parties to a mediation reach an outcome reducing the risks and costs of trial, and to reach an acceptable solution they crafted. His personable approach makes him a trusted mediator with a reputation for taking tough, unique situations and simplifying them to help parties achieve a solution. Regarded for his knowledge, skill, and reputation for fairness, he is selected as a mediator or as an arbitrator in cases simple to complex. Besides mediation, Mark serves as trial counsel and adviser on large-figure, corporate governance, officer and director liability, business tort, commercial, financial institution, and telecommunications matters. He represents clients in federal and state trial and appellate courts, as well as in arbitrations and mediations. He acts as counsel to clients facing regulatory proceedings before federal, state, and local government agencies. He also provides strategic business advice and conducts legal audits, risk assessments, internal investigations, and litigation analysis. Regarded as a leader and mentor in the field, he has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America as a “Lawyer of the Year” in the areas of Technology Law and Communications Law. He has also been designated as a Master Advocate by the prestigious National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA), NITA’s highest designation.
