News | Gadens appoints highly experienced litigator in Sydney

National law firm Gadens is delighted to announce the appointment of Edward Martin as a partner in the Disputes Group. Edward joins Gadens from Gilbert + Tobin in Sydney. 

A highly experienced litigator, Edward acts for clients in commercial and regulatory disputes and investigations, in particular in high-value complex contentious matters in highly regulated sectors including financial services, healthcare and education. 

Edward’s experience and his particular focus on the financial services sector enhance Gadens’ growing financial services regulatory practice. While also supporting contract and commercial disputes arising from corporate transactions, Edward has also acted in numerous mediations and arbitrations.

Grant Scott-Hayward, Gadens’ Chief Executive Officer said:

“Our Disputes Group has seen very strong growth in recent years and Edward’s appointment will continue this momentum. We look forward to the long-term contributions Edward will make in helping advance the Group as a market-leading practice.

In addition, we anticipate synergies in his practice with our corporate advisory, education, financial services, healthcare, private equity and property practice areas, allowing Gadens to continue to provide our clients with the multi-disciplinary approaches to solutions that drive results”.

Commenting on his move to Gadens, Edward Martin said:

“Gadens’ recent growth and determination to re-build and re-focus in the Sydney market presented an exciting offering for me. This is a team that is already known for its experience working on very significant disputes, particularly for regulators and in markets defined by regulators, so my decision to join the team was driven by an alignment of my experience with a team who has a strong market reputation, on which we can build together”. 

Edward has over 15 years’ experience and has a strong client base of multinationals and ASX listed companies. In addition to financial services, healthcare and education, other key sectors he works across include private equity, professional services, government and resources.
