About Diablo Lawyers
Introducing Marty Leishman
I am the Managing Director at Diablo Lawyers with 20 years’ experience in various Australian industries including petroleum, freight & logistics, property & development, small business, workplace health & safety, retail & hospitality, and information technology.
I founded Diablo Lawyers with the purpose of delivering an agile legal service to accommodate the demands of time-poor clients needing an online alternative.
I am a commercially focused lawyer with a Bachelor of Laws, in addition to further studies in workplace health & safety, food safety, corporate governance, and risk management.
I have worked with a diverse range of clients, from startups to multinational corporations, on complex legal issues including contract drafting and negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution.
I enjoy building a strong trusted partnership by delivering practical and effective legal solutions that align with your interests and objectives. By taking the time to understand your needs and goals, and by providing clear and actionable advice, I can help you navigate complex legal issues and achieve your desired outcomes.
Why Diablo?
Because the devil is certain to be in the detail.
And also, because I enjoy playing devil’s advocate.
The term ‘devil’s advocate’ refers to a person who takes a position or argument that is contrary to the prevailing opinion or belief in order to challenge or test the validity of the prevailing belief or opinion. It is often used in discussions, or decision-making, where a neutral or opposing perspective is needed to ensure that all angles are considered, and the best decision is made.
The devil’s advocate is someone who argues against the idea or proposal to expose any flaws or weaknesses in the argument.
Pro Bono
Diablo Lawyers provides certain pro bono legal services to Hearts of Purple, a not-for-profit service helping victims of domestic and family violence.
Diablo Lawyers is passionate about reducing the number of domestic and family violence related deaths. Our pro bono contributions to Hearts of Purple helps victims (including children) find their way out of the violence.
