About R. Mark
R. Mark Dougall earned his undergraduate degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology before turning to law. He received a B.S. in Management and Professional and Technical Communication in 1987 and completed his J.D. at Indiana University Maurer School of Law in 1990. Those years gave him a mix of business perspective and legal training that has influenced how he works since.
After law school he entered practice in Tennessee. Over the years he has maintained a steady presence in the state’s legal community. He is admitted to practice in Tennessee and has built a practice rooted in day-to-day client work. He has experience handling matters that require clear communication and practical problem solving.
Dougall’s undergraduate training in management and technical communication often shows in his approach to cases. He tends to break complex issues into plain terms and to emphasize clear exchanges with clients and other parties. That combination of skills has served him in negotiations, written advocacy and courtroom settings. He seeks practical resolutions but does not shy away from litigation when a client’s interests require it.
Colleagues and clients have noted his methodical style. He works through facts and law in a steady, organized manner. That steadiness extends to how he runs his office. The firm’s operations reflect an emphasis on responsiveness and on keeping clients informed as matters progress.
Today he practices at Dougall Law Offices PLLC in Tennessee. He manages client matters from that office and continues to represent individuals and businesses in state matters. His current practice centers on serving clients from his Tennessee office.
