ETAN MARK

MICHIGAN, 00  |  GEORGE WASHINGTON LAW, 03

Etan is a Chambers-ranked litigator with a fondness for darts, history and Game of Thrones. He readily combines strategic thinking with action and often advises clients on what they should and (often) should not do when presented with the unique challenges of a business in (or near) litigation.

Etan has been ranked by Chambers & Partners USA in commercial litigation. Sources interviewed by Chambers have said that “He’s absolutely fantastic; a very smart, strategic litigator. His ability to present in court is outstanding.” Others were not so complimentary: his mother was quoted as saying: “He is a good boy but he should’ve been a cardiologist.” His twin brother complained as well, calling him “a pain in the ass.”

Many of Etan’s cases touch either real estate or allegations of fraud; often both. He also serves as an “inside-outside” counsel, helping clients avoid or mitigate risk in the day-to-day operations of their businesses. His representative clients include public and private companies, real estate developers, investors and owners, tech entrepreneurs, family offices, hotels and banks. For some strange reason, Etan is particularly enamored with the ins and outs of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and has written and read extensively on the subject. The rest of the time, he can be seen asking his son to please stop watching videos of other people playing Fortnite and stressing out about climate change.

Etan began his legal career working as a business and securities litigator at a top 10 American Lawyer “Big Law” firm in New York. Since leaving New York for more . . . challenging sea levels, Etan has become a devotee of alternative value propositions focused on efficiency, collaboration and bespoke service (that are sometimes hard to come by in “Big Law”). Etan worked as a law clerk to a federal district court judge in Miami, where he gained an insider’s view on effective advocacy. Following his clerkship, Etan owned and was the CEO of a company that leveraged the global marketplace by outsourcing certain legal services to top attorneys and other legal service providers in India. Prior to founding MM&H, Etan was a partner at Berger Singerman’s Miami office, and was manager of the firm’s Dispute Resolution team.
