Mayer Brown has appointed Stefan Martin as a partner in its employment and benefits group.

Martin has experience across the full range of employment law, and has been involved in cases in the Employment Tribunal and High Court.

He joins from Allen and Overy where he was a partner in the employment group.

He said: “I am excited by the move and believe that Mayer Brown’s global platform is a compelling proposition for [employer] clients, both in the UK and internationally.”

Nicholas Robertson, head of employment and benefits at Mayer Brown, added: “We believe [Martin] will strengthen the depth of our expertise on contentious and non-contentious matters.

”He is an excellent fit for our [employer] client base in London and our global employment and benefits group.”
