After twenty-five years of work as a litigator, labor negotiator and general counsel for a variety of clients, Michael Marks stopped accepting law clients so that he could meet the demands of his full-time ADR practice.  He has been a full-time neutral since 2010.  He has mediated over 1,900 cases and arbitrated more than 40 cases.


Michael's work has been recognized by his peers. He holds an Av rating from Martindale-Hubbell, is listed in New England Super Lawyers (2009 & 2013-22 ed.) for Alternative Dispute Resolution, and was also recognized in Best Lawyers in America (2009 through 2022 ed.) for Arbitration, Construction Law and Mediation.
