New Square Chambers

Mark is fast developing a robust commercial chancery practice, having previously gained extensive experience at the Bar in South Africa. Over a period of more than ten years, he has represented individuals, corporate clients, and the government in wide-ranging, often complex, disputes.

Mark is regarded as being strategic, practical, and thorough in his approach. These attributes, coupled with his calm disposition, mean that he is sought after as sole counsel and as a member of larger teams.

Mark is skilled at distilling complicated issues and presenting them in an accessible way: he co-authored the latest edition of Amler’s Pleadings, the leading textbook on pleading in South Africa.

Before joining the Bar, Mark gained valuable insight into the broader profession: he clerked for Justice Ngcobo at the Constitutional Court of South Africa; he practised as an attorney in South Africa; and he worked as a development editor at Oxford University Press.
