Strengths

Provided by Chambers

  • His strength was his ability to express a view - applying his reams of knowledge and experience but also then overlaying this with the confidence to have an opinion as to the ultimate outcome. This is essential to us, as we are not experts in the legal field so need help not only understanding the dispute but also in modelling what probabilities the various potential outcomes may have. Martin got this right in absolutely perfect fashion right from the off.
