In Memoriam: Mark F. Clark

September 23, 2021

Mark F. Clark passed away on August 11 at age 81.

Clark received his A.B. magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1962 and went on to attend Harvard Law School, receiving his LL.B in 1965. Clark joined Foley Hoag following a clerkship for Chief Judge Bailey Aldrich of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (1965-1966). He was elected to ALI in 1998.

Excerpted from his obituary:

At the firm, in addition to maintaining an active practice in insolvency, secured transactions and commercial law, Mark served for many years on the Executive Committee as well as co-managing partner for the eight years before he retired in 2000. A current managing partner observed that it would be difficult to overstate Mark’s impact on what Foley Hoag is today.
