More Information:

Marko, an adept litigator, excels in handling complex legal battles ranging from class actions and defamation to intricate cross-border and shareholder disputes, not to mention pension litigation and commercial arbitration matters. His expertise has seen him leading cases in front of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal, and courts at all levels within British Columbia and Alberta, showcasing his versatility across a broad spectrum of judicial forums. Additionally, his role extends beyond advocacy, as he has taken on responsibilities as an arbitrator, contributing to the resolution of disputes outside the courtroom.

Beyond the courtroom, Marko's insights on legal dynamics find a broad audience through his regular commentary across various media platforms, including CBC television and radio, CKNW and News 1130 radio stations, as well as in print and online publications like the Vancouver Sun, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, and specialized legal magazines such as BC Business, Lexpert, and Canadian Corporate Counsel. This engagement highlights his ability to demystify complex legal issues for the general public and legal community alike.

Marko's commitment to education and professional development is evident through his contributions as a guest lecturer, where he shares his knowledge on trial advocacy and media law at the UBC Faculty of Law, class actions at the University of Victoria Faculty of Law, and media law at the UBC Graduate School of Journalism. His active membership in the Canadian Bar Association, Vancouver Bar Association, and The Advocates' Society further underscores his dedication to the legal profession.

His legal practice is as diverse as his involvement in the community, with a specialization that spans alternative dispute resolution, class actions, commercial litigation, defamation and media, intellectual property litigation, and more. He skillfully navigates the complexities of litigation and dispute resolution, pensions and benefits litigation, privacy and data management, product liability, securities litigation, and US cross-border litigation, demonstrating a broad and deep understanding of the legal landscape.

Marko's educational background, with a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) from Simon Fraser University and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Toronto, lays a solid foundation for his distinguished career. His bar admissions in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Alberta since 2000 illustrate a wide geographic range of legal practice, reflecting his adaptability and expertise across various legal systems.
