Profile / Experience
Martin has extensive experience in cases involving brain or spinal cord injury, as well as fatal cases.
He is accredited on the Law Society’s Clinical Negligence Panel, and was the chief assessor of the panel from 2015-18.
Martin joined Lanyon Bowdler in May 2023 as a solicitor in the Clinical Negligence Department. He was previously deputy head of clinical negligence at a Liverpool law firm for a number of years.
The 2024 edition of Chambers UK recognises Martin for his work for claimants in medical negligence claims. He often handles brain injuries and spinal injuries, as well as delayed diagnosis of cancer cases.
Martin also sits part-time as a judge in the First-Tier Tribunal, where he is assigned to the Health, Education and Social Care Chamber.
Outside of the law, Martin enjoys spending time with his young family, playing golf (usually not very well) and willing Manchester Utd back to premier league success.
