Martin Korn

Martin Korn offers litigation support and forensic accounting services to lawyers, and consultancy and general advice to his own business and professional clients.

Martin is actively involved in the overall management of the Financial Planning department, and acts as a financial consultant, trustee or executor to a number of family groups. Martin is lead partner and adviser to many of the firm's clients, co-ordinating cross-functional teams and ensuring an integrated service.

As an expert for the claimant, Martin recently achieved the £1m settlement of a fatal accident claim. The action included prospective loss of growth in the value of a minority shareholding of a private company. As an advising accountant in a matrimonial case, he successfully proved a loss-making business was in fact making substantial profits. On the commercial side, he is proud to have worked with one particular client, from his days as an audit junior, all the way up to senior partner - and has shared that client's rise from difficult times to its present financial success.

Martin is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales. He is also a member of the Academy of Experts and a member of the Expert Witness Institute. He regularly contributes to trade and national press on financial planning issues, including Investors Chronicle, Independent on Sunday, and Financial Times. He recently worked with Debbie Harrison in the production of the 3rd issue of Pension Power for the Financial Times.

Martin was born in 1945, and became a partner in the firm in 1971. He is married with three grown-up children and lives in Middlesex. He is actively involved in his community, putting his skills to use as treasurer and trustee for charities supporting school and university students, and for a housing society for the elderly. His wife, Beverley, works closely with him on much of his voluntary work. Martin enjoys theatre, and swims regularly.
