Directory quotes

"Ben Mark is one of the most pleasant, concise, and even-tempered practitioners I’ve ever encountered. He is my platonic ideal of an external counsel. I always leave our calls feeling as though I have a better understanding of the matter, and that my time and budget have been spent wisely. I trust Ben implicitly with negotiating on my company’s behalf with third parties and find he has a very strong knack for calmly and politely sorting through noise and ego-driven puffery." - Legal 500 UK 2023

"Ben Mark is super-responsive; he has extensive knowledge with respect to IP matters; and he is very pragmatic. I think his greatest strength is his ability to understand the business needs of our mutual clients. He also is very bright and strategic with a focus on long-term goals." - The Legal 500 UK 2022
