Since joining Holmes, Costin & Marcus in 2014, Ellen Marcus has built a reputation as a trial lawyer with a proven track record of bringing business disputes to a successful resolution in matters ranging from contract breaches and conspiracy to fiduciary duty issues and theft of trade secrets.
With two decades of experience in advocating for individuals and companies, she has also become a resource for those seeking well-thought out agreements that can minimize the risk of costly litigation later on. She has also acted as a trusted advisor to CEOs and other high-level employees negotiating to join or separate from a company.
Previously a partner at Zuckerman Spaeder, Marcus, a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar, clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Leonie M. Brinkema. The former senior editor of the Columbia Law Review is also a co-founder of The Candid Counsel blog.
