Marc is a co-founder of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals (originally called the New York Collaborative Law Group), a charter member of its board, and Chairman of its Nominating Committee. Marc is also a leader in the field of divorce mediation. He has both a strong command of family and matrimonial law and a sensitivity to the psychodynamics of interpersonal relationships. An attorney since 1980, Marc has studied family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, where he has worked closely with family therapists in helping couples in transition. As a member of the Ackerman faculty, Marc teaches divorce mediation in both an academic and clinical setting to attorneys and therapists. He also teaches divorce mediation and general mediation skills throughout the academic year and the summer semester at Brooklyn Law School, where he designed the school's alternative dispute resolution program and taught its first ADR course. Marc was also a visiting faculty member at Columbia Law School where he taught its mediation clinic. He has also taught mediation at the Center for Mediation in Law and at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. He also teaches Bioethics and the Medical Humanities, a course administered by Montefiore Medical Center and the Cardozo School of Law, and at the Sarah Lawrence College Health Advocacy Program. Marc recently was a visiting adjunct professor in Divorce Mediation at the Cardozo School of Law and taught Mediation as a Dispute Resolution Process at the Touro Law School Summer Program in Berlin, Germany. He has given numerous talks and presentations at conferences, examples of which include The Economics of Divorce; Ethical Issues in Representing Parties in Mediation; and Collaborative Law: A New Process Option for Divorcing Couples.
Marc is an Advanced Practitioner Member of the Family Law Section of the Association of Conflict Resolution, www.acrnet.org (formerly the Academy of Family Mediators), an Accredited Member of the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation, a Certified Member of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Mediation Centers, and a member of the mediation panel for the New York State Supreme Court's first custody and visitation mediation program. Marc is also a member of the referral panel for divorce mediation of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and a former member of the Association's Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee.
Although Marc has a strong background in litigation -- he was an associate in the litigation department of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison, a prosecutor who tried over thirty felony cases for Robert Morgenthau in the prestigious Career Criminal Program of the New York County District Attorney's Office, and a Professor of Trial Advocacy at Brooklyn Law School -- Marc has, for the past fourteen years, devoted his practice to resolving family law disputes without court intervention.
