Profile

Martin’s practice is centred on the effective resolution of complex civil disputes before the Hong Kong courts/arbitration tribunals. He handles a wide range of contentious matters, including international trade disputes, contractual claims, land and property disputes, personal injury litigation, contentious probate, and professional negligence cases.

His approach is defined by strategic clarity and disciplined execution. He does not prolong litigation for its own sake; rather, he pursues outcomes that serve the client’s commercial interests – decisively, efficiently, and without unnecessary detours. This focus has earned the trust of Hong Kong-based businesses, family offices, and international clients seeking robust dispute resolution and regulatory guidance in Asia’s leading financial hub.

In addition to his Hong Kong practice, Martin was admitted as a solicitor of England and Wales in 2024. This dual qualification enables him to advise on cross‑border disputes and international commercial matters with a multi‑jurisdictional perspective, providing clients with a strategic edge in complex, multi‑forum scenarios.
