Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Grossman Young & Hammond announced today that Attorney Mark Donig has joined the firm as Of Counsel. Donig brings over ten years of experience advising clients on complex, high-profile, and sensitive matters in both corporate and humanitarian law.

Mark has cultivated a dynamic and multifaceted practice that fuses startup law, venture capital, social impact, and economic diplomacy.  He maintains an active humanitarian pro bono practice, which includes assisting with the safe passage of American hostages from foreign autocracies and defending human rights activists and victims of state-sanctioned violence from discrimination, persecution and violent coercion. For this work, Mark is a two-time recipient of the Certificate of Special Recognition from the Office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. He is also the co-founder and  Board Member of the African Middle Eastern Leadership Project (AMEL), as well as a Board Member of the James Foley Foundation.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mark Donig to our team,” said Becki Young, co-founder of Grossman Young & Hammond. “Mark’s extensive experience and legal knowledge will be invaluable to our clients. This partnership strengthens our reputation as the firm apt to handle the most complex legal issues, the cases that many see as impossible.”

“Mark’s unique experience representing activists, oppressed or threatened by autocratic governments, is a tremendous asset to our International Protection Practice, and especially to our clients who may be victims of INTERPOL abuse,” says Sandra Grossman, also a co-founder of the firm.

“I am thrilled to join Grossman Young & Hammond and work alongside a team of talented and dedicated attorneys,” said Mark Donig. “The firm’s commitment to justice, human rights, and its reputation for excellence – which I have witnessed firsthand through nearly a decade of collaborative efforts – align perfectly with my own professional values. I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued success and helping our clients achieve their goals.”
