Professional Biography
Oliver specialises in acting for clients involved in complex and multi-jurisdictional disputes concerning inherited wealth and assets held in English and offshore family trusts. His clients are predominantly high net-worth individuals, executors, trustees and other fiduciaries involved in the administration of family assets. Oliver regularly acts for trustees and beneficiaries in a broad range of contested and uncontested court applications to resolve issues that have arisen in the administration of trusts and estates both in England and offshore jurisdictions. He also acts in relation to claims for breach of trust or professional negligence where a loss has been caused to assets held in trust, particularly in the context of failed investments. He regularly works alongside colleagues in the firm’s private wealth, family and financial services teams to deal with complex trusts and tax, divorce and investment matters. He has significant experience acting in relation to claims challenging the validity of wills and under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. He also acts for clients in sensitive and confidential disputes in the Court of Protection.
