Martin Emmison
Partner
Specialisation: Corporate and Collector Cars
Areas of work:
Martin has a niche motor collector practice and continues to do domestic and US derived commercial work. On the corporate side Martin handles shareholders’ agreements, raising of capital, advice to individual shareholders and directors, reorganisations, and the sale and purchase of businesses. Martin is rigorous in his efforts to keep documents short and to the point.
The motor practice arises from Martin's lifetime enthusiasm for sports and racing cars. The clients are a mixture of dealers, brokers, restorers, race preparers and major collectors from all parts of the world, in this specialised but growing area of commercial activity. Martin handles regularly cross border sales and exchanges of very expensive vehicles, and is experienced in the import, taxation and registration issues. He also handles resolution of the disputes that inevitably arise in this area, with the help of the firm’s litigation department where matters become seriously contentious.
