Background

About Mark Heusel

I am an experienced commercial business attorney and serve as Chair of the Firm’s East Asia Practice Group. I have more than 25 years of experience in representing multi-national companies in a variety of industries, including automotive, retail, technology, industrial and manufacturing. My experience includes advising foreign companies in the areas of foreign direct investment in the United States, business formation, Greenfield investment, international trade, commercial transactional matters, and dispute resolution. In my role as International Practice Group Chair, I serve as general counsel to companies throughout Asia and Europe, directing the firm’s resources to better assist my clients. I began my legal career by representing clients in a variety of litigation matters in state and federal courts and in various domestic and international arbitral forums. With more than 20 years of litigation experience, particularly in the areas of contract disputes, supply chain litigation, employment matters (including discrimination and wrongful discharge litigation), commission disputes, personal injury, and real estate and land use litigation, I've gained invaluable first-chair experience in understanding and recognizing how a company’s success may be impacted by business disputes. Leveraging this experience, I focus my career on assisting foreign companies entering the North American market. My interests and passion for helping companies in a proactive manner led to my current position as International Practice Group Chair, where I now have the opportunity to advise and counsel clients entering or expanding their businesses in North America.
