Marisol Corral Mork

Mork is considered a rising leader and dedicated mentor within Squire Patton Boggs, where she regularly serves as trial counsel in high-stakes controversies throughout the U.S. She has arbitrated commercial dispute in Europe and Asia.

She practices IP and class action defense for clients including Securus Technologies LLC; a former chief deputy attorney in Los Angeles; Cintas Corp. and its subsidiaries; and GeoSolutions Holdings N.V.

For prison telephone service provider Securus, Mork favorably settled a potential federal class action brought by inmates and a criminal defense lawyer who accused the company of recording privileged calls and falsely advertising their data privacy policies.

Romero v. Securus Technoogies Inc., 3:16-cv-01283 (S.D. Cal., filed May 27, 2016).

The result came after a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel granted review of a trial court’s class certification order. “At first we got class cert denied by the trial judge, but then the court granted a do-over following further discovery,” Mork said. “At the circuit, we filed our opening brief, and that brought them to the table.”

In another matter, Mork represents James Clark, the former chief deputy attorney for the City of Los Angeles, in the highly publicized potential class action in which he and other city officials are accused of civil RICO violations for in part having allegedly conspired with plaintiff attorneys in a prior class action over alleged overbilling by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The action is currently stayed pending resolution of a related state court suit. Bradshaw v. City of Los Angeles, 2:190-cv-06661 (C.D. Cal., filed July 31, 2019).

And for client Cintas, a Cincinnati-based workplace services provider, Mork handles numerous wage and hour class and representative actions pending throughout California in state and federal court. Among them is a recent class action alleging violations of the California Labor Code. Landeros v. Cintras Corp. No. 3, 2:20-cv-09931 (C.D. Cal., filed Oct. 28, 2020).

“We have filed a petition to compel arbitration, which is pending,” Mork said. “I’m fairly confident it will succeed.”
