Commercial Litigation

Principal

Baltimore litigator Mark Dimenna is known for handling complex commercial litigation disputes involving multi-million-dollar claims, matters of first impression, and cases that demand a skilled litigator to navigate and resolve the highly contentious and emotional conflicts that occur throughout the litigation process. A quick-thinking and resourceful Maryland attorney, Mark has successfully handled high-profile disputes for the mayor and city council of Baltimore and a city utility provider.

His experience spans a wide range of subject matters, such as:

Construction disputes including representing public owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals Commercial loan disputes Fraud and other related tort claims Contract-based disputes between businesses Partnership and LLC disputes Defamation claims

His broad experience as a lead litigator – spanning bench and jury trials, administrative hearings, and arbitrations – has honed his ability to adapt to the unpredictability of the courtroom. These crucial skills have led to a track record of achieving favorable outcomes for his clients. Notably, several of Mark’s arguments in matters of first impression have been adopted into reported opinions in the state of Maryland.

Conscious of the number of significant and substantial decisions that clients must make throughout the course of a dispute, Mark ensures his clients are properly informed at all stages of litigation. He clearly communicates his analyses of risks, potential outcomes, costs, and other factors relative to each decision.

Mark began his legal career in public service at the Baltimore City Law Department. He became a seasoned trial attorney during his eight-year tenure, resolving hundreds of claims. Mark is a resident of Baltimore and remains committed to his local community. When he is not working, he enjoys walking through Baltimore’s Patterson Park with his wife, Katherine, and their dog, Woody.
