Mark was called to the Bar in 1987 and took silk in 2002. He is qualified as a CEDR-accredited mediator and also acts as Independent Adjudicator.

Mediation areas include:

• Commercial contract
• Environmental
• Information Technology, Freedom of Information & Data Protection
• Human Rights, Immigration, Nationality
• Pensions
• Professional Discipline & Regulatory disputes
• Property & Landlord and Tenant
• Public & Administrative Law
• Statutory Authorities (Local & National Governments)　

Mark regularly appears in the Administrative Court, in the appellate courts and in statutory tribunals usually on behalf of public bodies, regulators and utilities and often in cases with a prominent human rights element.

Mark says: "Old problems often need to be approached from new angles, if middle ground is to be found.　 I find that this is best done by getting quickly to the real underlying issues: simplifying what seems to have become complex.　 Lowering the temperature helps to increase confidence and flexibility.　 So I aim to inject some calm and informality, but with sufficient authority and initiative to coax parties towards new solutions."

Mark is recognised by Legal 500 and Chambers UK as a leading silk in administrative & public law, environmental, information technology law and professional disciplinary/regulatory law.
