About Mark Grafton

Mark\'s law practice has focused on three areas, all relating to real property.(1) he guides clients through the complex and often opaque local land use and zoning regulatory environment. Clients use his guidance when deciding whether to purchase property, and also how to reposition existing assets.(2) he negotiates and drafts a wide variety of agreements relating to real property, including restrictive covenants, easements, development agreements, purchase and sale agreements, and leases.(3) he represents individuals, businesses, and governmental entities in resolving complex disputes at both the trial and appellate levels. His track record in real estate litigation includes successful first chair representation of a property owner in an administrative trial relating to a comprehensive plan amendment, successful representation of a developer at oral argument before Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal in a breach of contract case, and obtaining a seven-figure jury verdict after trying a complex commercial dispute for three weeks in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. As a sixth-generation Miamian, Mark’s roots in the community run deep. He served as the Chair of the Young Leaders Group for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) in Southeast Florida/Caribbean from 2020 to 2022, during which time he focused on creating opportunities for substantive engagement with the topics of Resiliency and Housing Affordability.
