Trial Lawyer and Commercial Litigator
Marc Rose is a trial lawyer with more than two decades of experience handling complex civil and commercial litigation.
His practice includes commercial disputes, corporate and defense litigation, product liability, medical negligence, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and other significant civil matters.
Marc has represented individuals, businesses, major air carriers, Fortune 500 companies, large multinational corporations, and other sophisticated clients. His experience on both sides of the docket provides a practical understanding of how significant cases are investigated, evaluated, defended, negotiated, and tried.
Trial Experience
Marc has substantial courtroom experience representing defendants in civil litigation.
His defense-side trial record includes defense verdicts in four of five cases tried for defendants.
That experience shapes the way he approaches every case. Decisions involving discovery, experts, witnesses, motions, damages, and settlement strategy are made with an understanding of how those issues may ultimately be presented to a judge or jury.
His plaintiff-side matters have resolved through negotiated settlements, including claims involving serious personal injury, medical negligence, product liability, employment disputes, and occupational disease.
Commercial Litigation
A significant part of Marc’s practice involves business and commercial disputes.
He represents businesses, owners, executives, investors, and other parties in matters involving contracts, business relationships, financial disputes, ownership issues, and contested commercial transactions.
Marc earned an M.B.A. from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, providing an additional business perspective when evaluating litigation involving risk, cost, leverage, financial exposure, and long-term business objectives.
Corporate and Defense Experience
Marc’s litigation background includes representing sophisticated corporate and institutional clients in significant civil matters.
His defense experience includes work for:
- Major air carriers
- Fortune 500 companies
- Large multinational corporations
- Other sophisticated corporate clients
That experience has involved the detailed factual development, expert analysis, discovery, motion practice, case evaluation, negotiation, and trial preparation required in substantial litigation.
It also provides valuable perspective when Marc represents plaintiffs, because he understands how defendants and their counsel evaluate and challenge claims.
Serious Plaintiff-Side Litigation
Marc also represents individuals and families in select cases involving significant injury or loss.
Rose Law Group is not a high-volume personal injury practice. Marc focuses on matters where detailed factual investigation, medical or technical evidence, expert testimony, causation analysis, and careful case development are particularly important.
These matters may include product liability, medical negligence, catastrophic injury, traumatic brain injury, serious transportation incidents, and wrongful death.
Business, Government, and Legal Background
Marc’s professional experience extends beyond private law practice.
Before becoming a lawyer, he worked in the United States Congress, including service in both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.
He later practiced in Washington, D.C. with an AmLaw 100 law firm and has also worked in the private sector.
That combination of legal, business, and government experience contributes to a broader perspective when handling complicated disputes.

Approach
Marc believes significant cases require preparation, judgment, and direct attorney involvement.
Clients work directly with him throughout the representation.
Whether the matter involves a commercial dispute, a corporate defense case, or a serious plaintiff claim, the objective is the same: understand the facts, identify the issues that matter, develop the evidence, and pursue a strategy appropriate to the client’s goals.
