Mark C. Fleming

Exceptional appellate and IP counsel, a true strategic thinker

Our company engaged Mark Fleming at WilmerHale in Boston for a complex intellectual property appeal. While we were initially drawn by his firm's reputation, it was Mark's personal acumen that made the difference. His background, including his Harvard Law education and recognition in Best Lawyers for Litigation - Intellectual Property, was immediately evident in his approach. He didn't just re-argue our case; he completely reframed the core legal issue, crafting a novel and compelling appellate strategy that resonated with the court. His written briefs were masterclasses in clarity and persuasive argument. The result was a complete reversal of the lower court's decision, protecting a critical patent. Throughout the process, Mark was deeply invested, explaining intricate legal concepts in accessible terms. The only minor critique, and the reason for four instead of five stars, is that during the most intense drafting periods, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to a full business day. That said, his strategic insight and the quality of his work product are absolutely first-rate. For high-stakes appellate matters, particularly in the IP space, Mark C. Fleming is an outstanding choice.
