Martin spent 12 years working as a senior legal adviser inside some of Australia’s foremost companies. As ‘inside counsel’ Martin learnt that any effective commercial legal adviser understands how to balance the role of business defender with the role of business partner. As a member of several senior management teams Martin also gained a sound understanding of solving legal problems as part of larger commercial challenges and opportunities.
Martin’s personal approach and experience lends itself perfectly to any business that requires a hands-on legal adviser that doesn’t get bogged down in jargon when providing advice and assistance, and requires solid relationships at all levels of an organisation.
Having held the role as General Counsel several times Martin has also effectively managed large teams and mentored and coached colleagues and team members. Martin is passionate about developing the next generation of in-house lawyers.
