Nicholas Bortman

Nicholas Bortman is a founding partner of the firm and a highly experienced practitioner in corruption investigations, and bilateral investment treaty and civil arbitration proceedings. Bortman is particularly competent in Middle East matters, where he has a proven track record in evidence gathering within jurisdictions with minimal disclosure requirements.

"Nick is a dynamo, and phenomenally intelligent," says a client; "it's not just the information he gathers, but that he gathers it in a manner that is admissible in court. He's a quasi lawyer-investigator, which is, for us, a godsend." A leading fraud lawyer summarises: "What makes Nick stand out is he's one of the smartest people I've ever met. What he knows, what he remembers and the level of detail is extraordinary. Whatever team members are doing, he retains all the information so I just have a single point of contact."
