About the Author

Martin Mankabady is a partner in Mayer Brown's corporate practice. He focuses on mergers and acquisitions (both private and public), joint ventures, and corporate finance, principally in the insurance and financial services sectors. Martin also advises on general company law, commercial, and regulatory matters.  Over the years, Martin has advised on a number of complex, high profile transactions, often with a cross-border element.

Martin is "very good and knows his stuff" notes Legal 500 2011 and is praised by the 2010 edition for his "quiet, effective, good-humoured mastery of deals and detail". He is “exceptionally respected” according to Chambers UK 2010 and in 2009 they praised him for his  “user-friendly, get-things-done” approach. Chambers UK 2008 noted that he “is developing a strong practice in commercial matters,” and previously observed that “peers expressed the ‘utmost respect’ for Mankabady and his wealth of experience" (2006).  He has also been highly regarded and recommended in Legal 500  2009 and in 2007 they  observed Martin is “a highly accomplished lawyer with strong expertise in the financial services sector.”
