    Introduction

    Martha Medina is an associate with Nixon Peabody’s Complex Commercial Disputes practice group. She represents individuals and corporations in a wide variety of matters with a particular focus on construction and real estate litigation.

    Practice Areas

    Commercial Lease DisputesComplex DisputesLitigationGlobal Compliance & InvestigationsConstruction & Real Estate Litigation

    My focus

    I represent clients from a diverse range of industries in a variety of complex civil litigation matters, including contracts, trusts, commercial leases, housing and other real estate disputes in both state and federal courts. I assist in all phases of litigation, with a focus on motions practice, managing discovery, and preparing for trial. I also routinely advise clients in developing policies to comply with fair housing and antidiscrimination laws. In addition to my commercial litigation practice, I represent pro bono clients in various civil rights and immigration proceedings.
     

    I previously served as a judicial intern for the Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Prior to law school, I worked as a paralegal in the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice.

    Looking ahead

    Companies and consumers alike must be aware of the risks associated with their private data given the heightened exposure to litigation and increased regulatory enforcement related to privacy, tort, and cybersecurity issues.
