"I have met thousands of attorneys in 25 years practicing. Oliver is the best I know. He is dedicated, he cares about his clients, intensely focused, possesses vast knowledge and is a supremely strong negotiator. And he delivers before time and under budget. There is nothing I would hesitate to send him, and I do, and he always comes through- with clear, precise results in record time. If you have the opportunity to work with him, grab it."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Oliver. I reported directly to Oliver for over 2½ years at The Beanstalk Group, where he is the Chief Legal Officer. Oliver has a deep knowledge of several areas of law and is able to give quick, clear and accurate advice on almost any legal issue. Oliver is one of the best negotiators I have ever worked with and I learned something from him on literally every deal we worked on together. He gains instant credibility with the opposing party by demonstrating expertise on the issues involved while negotiating in a manner that encourages cooperation. As a manager, Oliver supports his team with a true open door policy and never “over manages”. Every member of Oliver’s team knows they can go to him with any issue at anytime and feels comfortable doing so because they are invariably greeted with a smile and the correct answer. Oliver approaches every decision with integrity, intelligence and enthusiasm. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him!"

"To call Oliver a great attorney —which he is— would be too limiting. He sees deeper and goes further than that. He solves difficult legal and business problems the way a mathematical genius solves difficult proofs—quickly, correctly, and with elegant simplicity. Every negotiator claims to practice “win-win” negotiating, but Oliver exemplifies the “win-win” style, in which respect for his opponent in pursuit of a mutually beneficial solution always takes precedence over short-term, aggression driven tactical approaches. During his seven years as GC of Beanstalk, lawsuits have been close to zero and outside legal fees have been close to zero. And Oliver is respected not only for his legal skill, but for his business acumen and his personable, self-effacing style as well."

"Oliver is an encouraging supervisor who recognizes the hard work of his team. He manages his staff in a way that challenges them professionally and respects them as individuals. There is very little turnover in the legal department. Oliver is a talented attorney, intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and hard-working, with great business judgment and acumen. He is an astute evaluator of talent and character and excels at creating consensus among those holding competing viewpoints."
