ABOUT
Mark is a founding member of BCGL, Chairman of the Employment & Labor Law Department, the senior member of the firm’s Litigation Department, and the current managing member of BCGL. His trial practice focuses on the representation of businesses in litigation matters ranging from premises liability defense to real estate, construction, contracts, business, and fiduciary disputes. Mark has tried hundreds of cases to successful verdicts before judges and juries in state and federal court, and before arbitration panels in both the court system and private resolution venues. The breadth of his trial experience covers matters as diverse as premises liability, medical malpractice, banking/securities, insurance, motor vehicle, construction, products liability, wrongful death/survival, labor, contracts, shareholders’ derivative and Orphans’ Court/fiduciary matters.
Many legal disputes can and should be resolved without litigation. Recognizing this, Mark has negotiated the resolution of many contentious matters before and after litigation has started, both informally and through alternative dispute resolution forums. When legal action or trial is not the best path, his objective is always to resolve disputes in the most appropriate and economic forum that will provide his clients with the best result.
Outside of his practice, Mark has always been involved in his community through various boards, most recently as the Chair of Leadership Lancaster and as an elder and clerk of session at his church. Always active in the athletic community, he played basketball and volleyball for Yale, has coached numerous local basketball teams, and is a PIAA referee. Mark has three children and lives in Lancaster with his wife.
