Why A Career In Law?
Mark chose a career in law because it makes a difference to people's lives, presents a never-ending intellectual challenge, and develops skills, pathways and ongoing education that few other jobs provide.
As the John Milton character says in The Devil’s Advocate "...the law my boy, puts us into everything. It’s the ultimate backstage pass."
A Successful Day
For Mark, a successful day is one where good, positive progress on client matters is achieved; where a client feels that they have received value beyond the price tag, and where we made a real difference to someone's day, someone's business, someone's life.
Why Dutton Gregory?
Mark chooses to work for Dutton Gregory because, despite its five-fold growth, the firm continues to hold onto its warm, friendly and professional culture.
“Clients often comment on that friendliness, and the extra value we try to give them, answering the questions they didn’t ask as well as those they did.”
A Historical Trial That Mark Would Have Liked To Have Attended
Mark would have liked to have attended any trial that involved Lord Denning.
Mark says, “Denning is often said to have been ‘the best-known and best loved judge in our history’. His judgments shaped the law in so many ways, from misrepresentation, to privity of contract, to PTSD, pure economic loss, union fees and even the legal rights of children. It would have been fascinating to have watched that”.
