“At P&A, we proactively work with our construction clients to understand all of their needs making specific recommendations in the areas of construction disputes and litigation issues.”
Bio
Prior to entering the legal profession, Mark spent several years working in heavy civil construction, which provides him a fundamental understanding of the complex issues that face his clients daily. By focusing on addressing the practical needs of his clients, he advises them on strategic decision making to balance risk, mitigate disputes at their inception, and reduce the need for litigation.
Mark has extensive experience representing contractors in developing and litigating claims on complex commercial projects, in disputes involving construction inefficiencies, delays, differing site conditions, design errors and omissions, extra-work and wrongful termination claims on projects in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He regularly reviews, drafts, and negotiates construction contracts.
Mark is admitted to practice in the New York, New Jersey, and the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, with a concentration in American Government & Politics from Trinity College, where he played four years of varsity football. Mark received his Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law.
