Since 1998, Markus has concentrated on public international law. Markus combines experience in public international law at the highest level of government with many years of experience in advising and representing states, international organisations and businesses in private practice. 

He focuses on international investment law and acts in arbitrations under ICSID, ICC, LCIA and UNCITRAL rules and in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union. He also advises investors on structuring investments worldwide. 

Recognized as a leading individual in public international law in the UK (Legal 500 2012 to 2015), Markus frequently speaks at international conferences. He also guest lectures at universities such as the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics and Political Science, Queen Mary University of London, the University of Hamburg and Humboldt University in Berlin. He is nominated to the ICSID Panel of Conciliators by the Austrian Government.
