The award highlighted Oliver's many contributions to the University's Law School and his promotion of social mobility and access for students to a career at the Bar and in the wider legal profession.
Practising across the UK - particularly on the Midland Circuit - Oliver is a regular fixture at Leicester County Court, both as counsel and as a Deputy District Judge. As an Honorary Associate Professor at Leicester Law School, Oliver previously taught Public, Land, and Contract Law from 2011 to 2021, becoming a popular Teaching Fellow at Leicester.
A mentor through Lincoln's Inn and the Future Bar Programme at De Montfort, Oliver now also sits on Leicester Law School’s Advisory Board, and is leading a new marshalling scheme for Leicester students to shadow judges at the Leicester County & Family Court. Oliver delivers the annual “Oliver’s College of Knowledge: Mooting 101” lecture at both Leicester and Nottingham universities, offers employability workshops across the Midlands, and trains advocates for Lincoln’s Inn and the Midland Circuit.
Oliver co-founded the Jeffers-Nunn Award at Leicester Law School and was named 2023 Barrister of the Year by the Leicestershire Law Society. That same year, Oliver was nominated for the Nottinghamshire Law Society Equality & Diversity Champion Award for his tireless work expanding access to the Bar.
