General Counsel, Head of Commercial & Regulatory
Mark is Head of our Commercial & Regulatory Department and is also a Legal 500 ‘Recommended Lawyer’.
Before returning to Herrington Carmichael in August 2012, Mark worked as legal counsel at Acromas (which at that time owned and operated the AA, Saga and BSM brands and as EMEIA Legal Counsel at Apple (the creator of the iPhone, iPad, iPod and the Mac).
Mark heads up our regulatory and compliance offering, and advises businesses on financial services matters (particularly in the insurance, IFA / wealth management and payment services sectors) and regulatory matters more generally, particularly in the legal sector.
Mark has extensive experience advising on commercial matters, both in house and in private practice, with a focus on cross border and complex commercial projects, particularly in the software, IT, manufacturing, financial services and automotive sectors.
Mark enjoys travelling and going on adventures with his wife and two children. He is a car fan (Alfa restoration still a work in progress 10+ years on!).
Over the period Oct. to Dec.’25, Herrington-Carmichael supported us with regard to the closure of an employer-managed pension scheme. Mark Chapman provided excellent guidance and documentation to ensure that the overall project was correctly completed in the required time-frame. I would not hesitate to recommend Herrington-Carmichael as a partner to provide support with any legal matters.
The partner in charge, Mark Chapman, was exceptional. Our issues were unique and we had to change direction several times, but the team always responded well, bringing in the new specialist skills as needed. I think that is the standout quality; adaptability.
