Mark maintains an extensive international commercial arbitration practice with a focus on high-stakes construction, energy and critical-infrastructure disputes. He has represented clients in multi-billion dollar arbitrations and understands the challenges that infrastructure investors and companies routinely face across all sectors.

He has acted in cases for owners and for contractors, for and against state parties, in sophisticated commercial disputes that often involve complex technical issues, difficult points of local and international law, joint venture participations and sub-claims among groups of contractors—including contentious termination issues.  He has represented clients under all of the major jurisdictional rules including the LCIA, SIAC, ICC and the AAA.

Prior to joining King & Spalding, Mark worked in the arbitration practice of two prominent AmLaw firms.  He was trained by the world's leading international arbitration experts. He received his J.D. and B.A. from the University of Sydney and his LL.M from the London School of Economics.

Mark is admitted to practice law in Texas, New York and New South Wales.
