Partner

For over 25 years, Mark has represented ad hoc lender steering committees, financial institutions, syndicate agents, credit investors and private equity firms in complex debt restructurings and insolvency proceedings in a broad range of matters and industries, including energy, mining and financial services.

He has recently led successful campaigns to block exchange offers that were opposed by his term loan client groups in the Arch Coal and Cumulus credit facilities resulting in a very successful outcome in the Arch bankruptcy case. He has also recently negotiated and structured a number of debt-for-equity conversions on behalf of debt investor clients which were implemented through pre-packaged and pre-arranged plans of reorganization.

Mark is ranked as a leading attorney across numerous directories including Chambers USA, The Legal 500 USA and Best Lawyers. Prior to joining Freshfields, Mark was co-chair of the bankruptcy & restructuring group at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP.
