Big Law Sophistication. General Counsel Perspective. Boutique Value.

Strategic Counsel Built in the Boardroom and the Trenches.

You need more than a lawyer; you need a business partner who understands risk, scale, and the bottom line. With a career spanning Big Law NYC firms, General Counsel roles at publicly traded companies, and the front lines of EdTech entrepreneurship, I provide the sophisticated legal oversight of a global firm with the personalized attention of a solo practice.

Practice Areas

How I Help

Strategic legal counsel for companies, founders, and executives at every stage of growth.

Fractional General Counsel

For companies that have outgrown "DIY" legal but aren't ready for a full-time GC. I provide proactive, day-to-day legal leadership—managing contracts, compliance, and strategy—at a fraction of the cost of a permanent executive hire.

M&A and Business Transitions

Whether you are a digital media company looking to divest assets or a small business owner preparing for a hard-earned exit, I guide you through the complexities of the sale to ensure you capture maximum value and minimize post-closing risk.

Corporate & Commercial Advisory

From seed-stage startups to publicly traded entities, I advise on corporate governance, day-to-day operational legal matters, and complex commercial contracts.

Executive Employment & Career Transitions

I represent high-level executives navigating employment agreements, compensation packages, and sensitive exits, bringing a balanced perspective from years of advising boards on these very issues.

Why This Practice

High-Stakes Experience for Growth-Minded Businesses

Public Company Pedigree

I've served as General Counsel for publicly traded organizations, meaning I understand the scrutiny and standards required at the highest levels of business.

The Entrepreneur's Lens

Having founded my own EdTech company, I know what it's like to sign the front of a paycheck, not just the back. I offer advice that is practical, not just academic.

III

Scalable Expertise

As a solo practitioner, you always get me. When a matter requires additional depth, I tap into a hand-picked network of specialized counsel to build the right team for the job.

Value-Aligned Pricing

I am committed to ensuring fees reflect the actual value delivered. You receive Big Law quality at boutique rates, without the overhead of a skyscraper office.

Throughout his career, Mark has served as the General Counsel of a publicly traded company, advised GCs of global corporations, and led the legal strategy for a digital media firm through a total asset divestiture.
