Intro

Hi! I’m Martin.
I'm a corporate and commercial lawyer.

About me

Growing up, my life revolved around sports. The thrill of a chase, the strategy of a game, and the satisfaction of a win were central to my formative years. Little did I know these experiences would serve as metaphors for the twists and turns that awaited me in the professional realm.

I began my academic pursuit with a degree in business, where I dived deep into business and financial management. It wasn't just numbers and profit margins; it was about understanding the intricacies of decision-making and the art of managing resources. But something still felt amiss. I was drawn towards law.

Thus, I embarked on my legal journey. Litigation was my first stop. With its adversarial setting and high stakes, litigation was the real-life equivalent of those sporting matches I loved. But as with all things, my interests evolved. I transitioned to transactional work and started specialising in real estate transactions, mergers, and acquisitions.

But there was another frontier beckoning. Technology.

Technology was more than just a tool for me. It was a passion. Merging my legal background with this interest, I delved into technology. With its constant evolution and challenges, the software landscape became my new playing field.

Two companies were founded out of the interests of law and tech: DocNinja and ContractNinja. The former creates custom document automation and e-signatures solutions for large enterprises and law firms. The latter is my tribute to my fellow legal professionals, providing them with the arsenal they need to master tech contracts.

But who am I beyond my work?

Well, I'm someone who finds comfort in the background, observing and reflecting. Though reserved, the people and pets in my life have a special way of bringing out my more animated side. My two daughters, aged 2 and 4, are my little whirlwinds, their laughter and curiosity a daily reminder of life's simple joys. Our two Spaniels add to the chaos, and love, of our household.

Then there's my wife, the true superstar of our family. As a medical specialist, her precision and dedication inspire me every day. Together, we navigate the challenges and celebrate the triumphs of life.

Welcome to my world, where law meets tech, and family is the anchor amidst all the excitement.
