What can I do for you
Martino heads the firm's construction, engineering and energy disputes practice.
He has more than 20 years of specialist experience in helping clients resolve their disputes.
He gives clear and straightforward advice that focuses on pragmatic, commercial solutions. Simplicity and focus is his mantra.
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.

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".
