Contact Martin Dillon, a Hamilton barrister, arbitrator and mediator practising from 109 Chambers.
I welcome enquiries concerning commercial arbitration, mediation, independent legal advisory work, investigations and criminal defence. I am available for in-person work in Hamilton and throughout the Waikato. Arbitration and mediation appointments may also be arranged in Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua, and suitable engagements can be conducted online throughout New Zealand.
Before providing information
To help me assess an enquiry, please provide:
- your name and contact details;
- the service you are enquiring about;
- the names of the parties and any lawyers involved;
- a brief, general description of the matter;
- any significant dates or deadlines; and
- whether you are seeking an in-person, online or hybrid engagement.
Please do not send confidential documents, detailed evidence or extensive information before a conflict check has been completed and appropriate arrangements have been confirmed.
If your enquiry concerns a proposed appointment as arbitrator or mediator, initial communications should ordinarily be limited to matters such as the parties’ identities, the general nature of the dispute, availability, conflicts, fees, timing and appointment procedure. Substantive communications about the merits should include all parties or take place through an agreed process.
Direct contact
For arbitration, mediation, legal advisory, investigation and general practice enquiries, please contact me directly.

Appointments and engagement terms
An initial enquiry does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship or constitute acceptance of an arbitration, mediation or other professional appointment.
Before substantive work begins, I will confirm availability, complete any required conflict check and provide or agree the applicable terms of engagement.
