The most interesting part for me is learning about how both my lender and borrower clients make money. Learning about their businesses, how they achieve success, and how they plan to continue that success. That understanding allows me to offer better counsel on a given transaction.

Our team approach delivers value to our clients. We learn their business needs, simplify the complex and recommend commercial solutions.

Mark is “incredibly commercially minded, very smart and dedicated and able to get projects done.” His “client service, level of sophistication and commercial vision are very strong. He’s a great attorney and we’re thankful to have his partnership.” [Chambers USA, 2023]

I've been lucky to do all sorts of financing for all sorts of clients. I love being involved in transactions, and working with various parties, from the conception of an idea, all the way through to an exit, and on anything and everything that comes up along the way.

I’m consistently motivated by the complexity and problem-solving that is necessary to structure and execute the complex financing transactions that our clients trust us with. Particularly in the energy, power and infrastructure space, I get the privilege of working with clients who are financing new technologies, shifting products and first-of-their-kind deals – working collaboratively and creatively to balance the objectives of the parties to get deals executed is the best part of the job.

One of the things I like best about my work is that I get to be deeply involved in my clients’ businesses. I like developing close relationships with my clients and working with them to find creative and efficient ways to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.

Project development and finance is largely an exercise in problem solving – every project faces its own unique set of extremely complex challenges. We are fortunate to have clients that trust us to help them overcome those challenges with the development of what is usually a fundamentally important piece of infrastructure that serves a community or region.

What I enjoy most about my practice is the opportunity to help clients that are on the leading edge of the most sophisticated financing transactions in the market. I work closely with these clients to navigate novel issues and provide innovative solutions that lead to successful deal closings.
