Practice Areas

Martin Davies, Global Vice Chair of the firm’s Litigation & Trial Department, advises clients on a range of complex commercial disputes often centering on novel legal issues, including class actions, corporate and shareholder disputes, banking and financial litigation, and competition litigation.

An internationally renowned trial lawyer, he draws on more than three decades of experience advising many of the world’s leading corporations and financial institutions on their most significant and intricate disputes. He represents diverse clients from across industries, including corporations, banks, private equity firms, portfolio companies, and high net-worth individuals.

Martin can provide a unique insight into class actions having acted on both the claimant side (for the major shareholders in the seminal RBS Rights Issue litigation, the first securities class action to proceed by way of Group Litigation Order), and on numerous defense side class actions. This unique insight in to the dynamics of claimants in class actions has led to Martin being instructed as settlement counsel to help resolve mass claims and be the interface between the claimant and defendant mindset.

His successful track record in entertainment litigation includes breach of contract disputes involving major TV and radio broadcasters, sports clubs and agencies, and film production companies.

Martin also advises on public law issues, conducting judicial reviews for both applicants and regulators. He runs sensitive and high-stakes internal investigations on behalf of clients, including appearing before regulators.
