“I believe in approaching client relationships positively, with a team-player mentality that inspires collaboration”

“I have substantial international experience on account of the globalised services offered by insureds in my sector. I’ve worked on cases worldwide, and am especially familiar with litigation and investigations in the USA and Australia.

My work is all about bringing as much value as possible to client matters, which to me means combining absolute commercial integrity with unparalleled efficiency, organisation, and prioritisation. 

I believe in approaching client relationships positively, with a team-player mentality that inspires collaboration. Being contactable is a key part of this, with in person and virtual meetings often being more effective than email correspondence. My focus is always on delivering efficiently to deadlines and moving effectively towards resolution.”

Oliver’s recent work highlights:

Coverage/monitoring instruction in respect of a multi-billion-dollar regulatory investigations by the SEC and the FCA against a major hedge fund.  

Advising on various multi-million-pound claims relating to the LDI crisis post the UK government's mini-budget in September 2022.
