More About Marc

Marc is the co-managing partner of Seyfarth’s New York office. Marc advises clients on planning, structuring, and executing sophisticated corporate, real estate, and licensing transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, and financing transactions (traditional, mezzanine, and preferred equity).

Marc counsels clients from entrepreneurial startups to large privately held companies through each phase of growth as outside general counsel.

Marc's legal background has provided him with extensive financial and legal experience. Prior to law school, Marc worked as an accountant. After graduating law school, Marc worked at Deloitte, the tax and bankruptcy division of the New York City Law Department, and PwC where he developed state and local tax skills, and handled complex tax litigations. Marc also holds an LLM in taxation from New York University. In 2004, Marc made partner at a boutique law firm in Manhattan, where he handled corporate and real estate matters. He joined Seyfarth in 2005 where he has been a partner ever since. At Seyfarth, he has further developed his legal acumen. 

While not a practicing accountant or tax attorney, Marc’s financial background proves useful in analyzing the  challenges clients often face, including analysis of balance sheets, income statements, statements of cash flow, and financial ability.

Marc attacks complex problems by breaking them down into the incremental steps necessary to provide effective legal solutions. Marc appreciates that Seyfarth has a team approach to problem-solving.
