Oliver’s passion for a career in law began in 2010 after completing work experience as a 15 year old in Chadwick Lawrence’s Wakefield office. Shortly after his 18th birthday, he started as a Legal Apprentice at a national law firm in Leeds. He soon became a fee earner at 20 years old and for the next 8 years he handled a caseload on a range of disputes on behalf of insurer and corporate clients. Alongside fee earning, he completed a 6-year Solicitor Apprenticeship which provided him with excellent academics to become a successful litigator.
Oliver has now come back to Chadwick Lawrence, with a wealth of experience to put to good use, in our Litigation team based in Leeds. He qualified as a solicitor in June 2024.
Out of work, Oliver serves as an Elected Councillor for the Morley South Ward on Leeds City Council and served as the youngest Mayor of Morley during 2022/23.
