Martin Denyes serves as Fasken’s Chair, with responsibility for engagement with clients and in markets in Canada, the United States and internationally. Prior to being named Firm Chair, Martin served as Managing Partner in Ontario and as Firm Managing Partner over the course of 15 years.
In practice, his focus has been on supporting employers and executives in solving their day-to-day issues in the workplace and the mission critical issues that drive their workplace strategies. Throughout a 35 year career, he has guided employers and the Firm through the range of complexity that arises in our businesses.
A graduate of Carleton University’s Journalism program and Ken Scrutton’s Grade 11 English class at Centennial Secondary School in Belleville, Ontario, Martin prides himself on efficient, effective, direct communication. And very much appreciates (prefers) it from others. He does, however, love a good story that tells a tale about people, while grounding itself in data … which might help explain why his favourite form of entertainment, beyond a good conversation, is listening to radio broadcasts of baseball games.
