About Us

Founded in February 2009, Mei & Mark LLP is a minority-owned law firm based in Washington, DC, and has been recognized as one of the Go-To Law Firms at the Top 500 Companies by the American Lawyer. At Mei & Mark, we provide our clients with high quality legal services in a flexible, effective manner, focusing on the full range of IP practice, including patent litigation, International Trade Commission (ITC) Section 337 investigations and inter partes review (IPR) proceedings, and complex commercial litigation, as well as business law.

Billing

Recognizing our clients’ needs to manage their legal budgets with the highest degree of certainty, Mei & Mark provides substantial savings compared to large law firms through three traditional and alternative billing structures:

  • We offer reasonable fixed-fee/flat-fee arrangements for many transactional and litigation matters, including ITC Section 337 investigations and district court patent litigation.

  • We preserve a traditional hourly-rate billing practice, should our clients so choose. Our rates reflect substantial savings compared to our former rates and our peers’ rates at larger law firms.

  • We welcome your inquiry regarding our contingency-fee arrangements, and/or incentive-fee arrangements in suitable matters.

Commitment

Mei & Mark takes pride in its work and is committed to excellence in work product and client service. Our attorneys have credentials rivaling our peers at larger law firms, having worked for and/or against those big firms. Having firsthand knowledge of how big law firms operate, we recognize the need for an alternative choice for companies, both small and large. With lower overhead, Mei & Mark provides our clients with excellent legal services in a flexible, cost-effective manner. As a result, we help our clients control their legal costs more efficiently to realize savings without compromising the quality of work product.
