About Us
Martello is an independent, expert-led firm operating at the intersection of complex disputes and high-stakes advisory.
OUR BACKGROUND
Martello is an independent, expert-led firm supporting the legal community on complex disputes and high-stakes advisory matters, where impartial, scrutiny-ready expert analysis is critical.
Finding experts with the right combination of practical, hands-on experience and expert witness capability can be challenging. Martello addresses this through a core group of senior, in-house experts, complemented by a carefully curated global panel of independent specialists, enabling the deployment of the most appropriate expertise for each matter.
“During my banking career I often retained experts to assist in a dispute and ended up with a generalist consultant, turning their mind to the issues at hand, often for the first time. Martello was founded to source genuine practical experience of the issues in dispute” Richard Moore, CEO
