Supporting your ambitions

Not only does Martino deal with formal dispute resolution procedures, he is increasingly asked by clients to get involved in dispute avoidance early on in a project and provides focused advice on key aspects of the parties' relationships and actions. This helps shape a strategy long before litigation/arbitration/adjudication is contemplated.

Martino welcomes the opportunity to help clients while projects are live - when fast and effective advice can make all the difference. 

Martino has been nominated by his clients to Acritas Stars 2021 as "one of the most stand-out lawyers they have used over the past 3 years".
