Fieldfisher—Guy Martin

Sanctions expert joins as consultant

Fieldfisher has appointed leading sanctions lawyer Guy Martin as a consultant. The move bolsters the firm’s internationally recognised sanctions practice, with Martin bringing over 20 years of experience in public international law, sanctions, and complex cross-border disputes.

Martin joins from Carter-Ruck, where he was a partner for 35 years and founded the firm’s sanctions practice in 2001. He is ranked in the top tier by Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, and is listed in The Legal 500 Hall of Fame for his work in sanctions. His client base includes ultra-high net worth individuals, royalty, and public figures, and he has acted in several landmark cases, including successful sanctions challenges for Sheikh Yasin Abdullah Kadi and the family of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Vivien Davies, senior partner and co-head of Fieldfisher’s sanctions practice, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Guy to the firm. His extraordinary experience and reputation in sanctions law will further strengthen our international capabilities.’

Commenting on his appointment, Martin said: ‘At a tumultuous time for international law, trade, sanctions and human rights, Fieldfisher is a fitting partner for my practice. The firm’s international reach and specialist expertise provide the ideal platform to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients.’
