Mark K. Neville, Jr.

Mark Neville is Counsel in the Corporate and International Practices at Smith Gambrell & Russell, LLP.

Mr. Neville has over 30 years experience in the field of international trade and customs affairs. He has successfully advised numerous United States and foreign-based companies on strategic matters of planning, compliance and enhanced efficiencies. While a recognized expert in all areas of trade and customs, he reserves his own personal preferences for customs valuation and the interplay of customs and international tax issues, along with the administration of trade preference programs.

Starting as a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, representing the Customs Service and the Treasury Department, his career led him to a Wall Street law firm (Mudge, Rose, Guthrie and Alexander), Fortune 100 legal department and the international accounting firm KPMG, where he founded and ran the U.S. trade and customs consulting practice for five years. He also held a two-year assignment in Brussels with responsibilities for Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Mr. Neville holds law degrees from the University of San Francisco and New York University (LL.M, International Legal Studies), and history degrees from Fordham University and University of California at Los Angeles. He is also a licensed customhouse broker. Mr. Neville has served as an adjunct faculty member of the Walter A. Haas School of Business of the University of California and at NYU’s Stern School. He is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Journal of International Taxation, for whom he writes a monthly column on trade and customs issues, and is widely published in other journals and law reviews, as well. Mr. Neville is admitted to the New York Bar.
