“
Martin Paul is probably the most pragmatic adviser for corporate and funds matters I have come about. Not tied to the usual document churning routine he understands commercial and corporate dilemmas of his clients and manages calmly to provide very considerate, risk-balanced commercial solutions. Also: he actually does urgent core work himself as opposed to delegating everything downwards. I think he is a great dependable asset for any client or board in difficult legal and commercial situations.
