About

MDK Law is a Bellevue-based business law firm serving leading companies throughout the Seattle area and beyond since 1983. The firm provides comprehensive counsel across business formation, contracts, transactions, real estate, securities, and commercial litigation, with particular depth in tax planning, tax disputes, and trademark matters.

Mark Kimball, the firm's founder and managing shareholder, brings specialized expertise in taxation, holding both an LL.M. in Tax Law and an LL.M. in Transnational Commercial Practice. Licensed in Washington, New York, and Texas, Kimball is recognized by his peers and ranked in the top one percent of attorneys by Martindale-Hubbell, which has awarded the firm its highest AV-rating. He is a frequent international lecturer on tax issues and serves as a mediation and arbitration panelist.

The firm maintains a robust practice serving U.S. companies in cross-border transactions and foreign nationals in domestic business matters. This international orientation is supported by multilingual capabilities spanning English, Arabic, Russian, Farsi, French, Urdu, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. Beyond its core business practice, MDK Law also advises clients on estate planning, intellectual property registration and disputes, and employment law matters.

Recent notable results underscore the firm's litigation capabilities. MDK Law prevailed in a motion for preliminary injunction in a federal trademark case in New York, secured a significant win in private arbitration, and successfully defended a major Chinese auto parts manufacturer in a dispute with a U.S. distributor. The firm has also obtained appellate victories, including a substantial win before the Washington Court of Appeals on marijuana licensing and tied house regulations.

The firm's approach centers on understanding each client's business objectives and providing long-term strategic counsel. Rather than viewing engagements as isolated transactions, MDK Law positions itself as a trusted business advisor, partnering with clients across multiple practice areas to support sustained growth and compliance. The website emphasizes that the firm has been intentionally built around a complete business-focused team capable of addressing clients' needs wherever they operate—locally, nationally, or internationally.
