Oliver’s practice as an employed barrister was almost exclusively in cross-border matters.  In addition to his extensive experience in international arbitration, he has advised on governing law and jurisdictional issues as well as matters of strategy where proceedings are being pursued in multiple jurisdictions. 

Recent instructions include:

• Advising on jurisdiction, governing law and enforcement in relation to a cross-border recruitment matter
• Advising in a cross-border agency dispute involving issues of German restraint of trade law
• Advising on jurisdiction and enforcement in relation to cosmetic surgery performed on UK citizens in an EU state

Having lived and worked in Tokyo for five years, he has particular experience of working with Japanese clients.  He speaks and writes fluent Japanese and is happy to accept instructions in the language.
