A publication from Chambers and Partners, the Chambers HNW Guide covers private wealth management work and related specialisms, featuring leading lawyers and law firms for wealthy individuals and families. Farella Chambers HNW Guide commentary includes: "I find Farella Braun + Martel to be professional, thorough in their planning and very collegial.” “They have a strong and active bench of lawyers.”

Mark serves as chair of Farella’s Business Department. He assists individuals and families with estate and business succession planning, and guides family members through the trust and estate administration process.
