Mark Underwood — Managing Partner, The Underwood Group
Mark Underwood is the Managing Partner of The Underwood Group, LLC, a Michigan-based digital-first law firm. His practice is focused on defined-scope legal engagements for Michigan matters, counsel affiliation infrastructure through LawVocate, and Fractional CLO support for founders and growing businesses.
Mark's work sits at the intersection of law, business, and technology. He advises on governance, intellectual property, commercial agreements, financing, and AI-related legal questions — with a consistent focus on clarity of scope, defined responsibilities, and accountable delivery.
The Underwood Group reflects a deliberate approach to legal practice: digital-first infrastructure, human-led counsel, and engagements structured around the client's actual need rather than open-ended representation.
Mark is licensed to practice law in Michigan.
A different approach to legal practice
Most legal engagements are defined by what the attorney does — not by what the client actually needs. The Underwood Group is built around the opposite premise: scope is defined first, responsibilities are clear on both sides, and delivery is accountable to what was agreed.
That structure is not a limitation. It is the point. Clients know what they are getting, what they are responsible for, and what the engagement will cost before work begins. Counsel knows the same. That clarity is the foundation of every engagement at the firm.
