Senior advisory from a specialist with over 35 years in environmental incident response — from founding and leading one of Ireland's foremost industrial and spill response businesses to directing the European operations of a global emergency response and industrial services group, including leadership of the response to major international casualties.
LSA-01 · The Owner
Lehane Strategic Advisory is the independent practice of Martin Lehane. Martin founded and built one of Ireland's leading industrial, environmental and spill response businesses, which was acquired by a global emergency response organisation in 2022. He went on to serve as its Chief Executive for Europe, with extended oversight across the Middle East and Africa, before stepping back from full-time executive life in 2025.
His operational record spans land, inland waterway and marine incidents — including leadership of the response to major international casualties — alongside decades of commercial experience pricing, tendering, resourcing and delivering complex environmental and industrial services work.
The practice is deliberately small: one senior adviser, a limited number of clients, and direct access at every stage. You engage the person who does the work.

LSA-04 · Approach
Every instruction starts with rapid remote triage — establishing the facts, the risks and the right next step before anyone travels anywhere.
Each engagement is scoped in writing: what will be delivered, by when, and what sits outside scope. No open-ended commitments in either direction.
The services are provided under the responsibility and supervision of the adviser you engaged, who remains accountable for all reports, audits and advice delivered under this engagement.
Incident attendance is offered on a best-efforts, subject-to-availability basis. Remote triage is always the first response — and often resolves the urgent question the same day.
LSA-05 · FAQ
