Oliver is experienced in multi-jurisdictional disputes with a high number of stakeholders. He complements his legal advice with his expertise in forensic services, making it possible to solve a case in a targeted manner thanks to his in-depth analysis of and additional investigations into the facts of a case (e.g., in case of special audits or assessments of liability issues). Besides comprehensive legal advice, Oliver gives special importance to strategic advice that takes the individual aims and risks of clients into account.
