Nico Martinez

Nico Martinez is an experienced litigator who tries complex, high-stakes cases in courtrooms across the country. Nico has tried more than half-a-dozen cases since joining Bartlit Beck. He has contributed to Bartlit Beck's major trial successes for PricewaterhouseCoopers and UnitedHealthcare, and he helped secure a complete defense verdict in an $800 million breach of contract case against shareholders of a privately held oil and gas company.

As part of his active pro bono practice, Nico obtained a historic trial victory as co-lead counsel for a group of Black voters challenging Georgia’s statewide method of electing members of its powerful Public Service Commission. Nico then led the effort in the U.S. Supreme Court to preserve that victory for the ensuing election cycle, a “rare” feat that attracted headlines nationwide.

Nico graduated from Stanford Law School, where he was a senior editor of the Stanford Law Review and member of the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic team that represented Edith Windsor in her successful challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
