For over 30 years, Mark Anchor Albert has consistently achieved outstanding results for his clients in complex business litigation and trials. He has been instrumental in obtaining hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries for his clients from corporations and their insurance carriers in difficult cases involving complicated liability, damages, and related insurance coverage issues. He also has successfully defended companies and individuals facing hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars in potential liability, often succeeding in having difficult cases dismissed by motion before trial, or otherwise obtaining deeply discounted settlements on favorable terms.
Mr. Albert provides sophisticated legal services for clients who wish to obtain "big firm" expertise, experience and results in complex litigation cases with personalized “boutique firm” attention – and without incurring "big firm" fees and costs. Prior to establishing his own firm, Mr. Albert practiced law for 20 years in senior roles at preeminent firms – Sidley Austin LLP, Hennigan, Bennett & Dorman LLP (now known as McKool Smith LLP), and Graham & James LLP (now known as Squire, Sanders & Dempsey LLP) – where he worked with and against some of the finest attorneys in the country. Mr. Albert has an established track record of success in complex business litigation, earning a reputation for intelligence, integrity and faithful dedication to his clients' interests.
