Guy Martinet, who has a French and German background, joined the law firm Tomasi in 1979. For the next seventeen years, he provided legal assistance to French and German businesses in the metallurgical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
In 1997 he joined Lmt Avocats, where he has since then been contributing his experience in international relations and his knowledge of the German legal culture and economic environment to the activities already developed by the law firm in that domain. As a member of the Franco-German team, he notably acts as legal advisor and trial lawyer in cases involving industrial interests.
Guy Martinet, who specialized in labour law from the start, has been involved in the expansion and reorganisation of the French interests of many German groups, including assisting them and their subsidiaries with talks and negotiations with the social partners, notably over staff status and bargaining agreements. Also trained in company law, he is able to advise client businesses on their management structures and managerial staff and to deal with related disputes through negotiation, legal action, mediation, or arbitration. He regularly lectures at seminars in France and in Germany on topics pertaining to the international aspects of labour law and has co-authored several comparative labour law publications.
From the beginning of the 1990s, his accrued knowledge of the products, machines, and equipment manufactured and marketed by his clients in the industrial business led him to take a specific interest in the risks and health and safety consequences which their use entails. This in turn led him to defend employers in criminal liability and compliance proceedings in matters of accident at work and inexcusable fault.
Since then, he has broadened the scope of his work to include contractual negotiations in various technological domains on the one hand and technical and legal litigation relating to claims involving corporate liability (manufacturers, constructors, operators) and insurance guarantee on the other hand.

The man behind the lawyer:
- Born on 3 June 1950 in Paris of a French father and a German mother
- Following his interest for linguistics and more generally for the social sciences, Guy Martinet first took a classics degree (including two years of preparatory classes for the École Normale Supérieure entry examination). However, the discovery of law in that context decided him to go down that occupational path instead.
In addition to his taste for music (Guy Martinet plays the piano) and architecture, he has practised many sports over the years (first rugby and tennis, then athletics, hiking, skiing, and nowadays water sports and triathlon).
