Experienced and Practical Attorney

For over 15 years and during my long stints as in-house counsel at 2 large institutional real estate companies (one publicly traded and the other privately held), I have had the pleasure of working with Mark Kompa. Mark has been a trusted advisor, skilled litigator and practical negotiator on a wide ...variety of commercial real estate matters including unlawful detainers, breach of lease actions, lease enforcement issues, operating expense disputes and general business litigation. With responsibility for running an in-house legal department, I need an outside counsel who is practical and understands the nuances of our business by achieving results that are cost-beneficial. Mark Kompa is that trusted attorney and I highly recommend Mark to all of my in-house peers.
