Overview

Mark Hochberg is a trial and appellate lawyer in the Boston office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. He has been identified multiple times as “One to Watch” by Best Lawyers and a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers.

He litigates nationally and his practice spans federal, state and administrative jurisdictions. It also traverses legal areas. His bread and butter is complex commercial disputes as well as government and internal investigations. But the panoply of experience involves technical issues in niche spaces. For example, Mark also litigates cases involving intellectual property, bankruptcy, antitrust, construction, international trade and criminal matters.

Outside the courtroom and beyond the pleadings, Mark connects with the legal community through bar associations such as the Boston Bar Association and the Massachusetts Bar Association. Further, he connects with the LGBTQ+ community through the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association and the Massachusetts LGBTQ Bar Association.

Mark advocates zealously for members of marginalized communities. He has counseled incarcerated people through the parole process and survivors of domestic violence through family court proceedings.
