Oliver Poynton

I am an associate in our Dispute Resolution team in London. I advise clients across a broad spectrum of contentious and advisory matters and frequently work with clients in the financial, technology and renewable energy sectors.

I hold dual specialisms in commercial litigation and international arbitration. This includes experience of arbitrating under the rules of the LCIA, ICC, DIAC, DIFC-LCIA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. I also act for clients involved in alternative dispute resolution (including mediation) and expert determination procedures.

I am a member of our Technology & Communications and Energy & Utilities groups and work with colleagues across the firm's global network. Much of my work carries an international element, and I have experience advising clients involved in foreign proceedings in relation to international letters of request for evidence and applications for ancillary and injunctive relief in England & Wales.

Within the sectors on which I focus, I have experience advising in relation to licensing, IT and technology outsourcing, data privacy, public law and cyber security matters. I also work on civil fraud, insurance and company law related matters.

I qualified at my former firm in September 2019, completing an international secondment. I subsequently worked as in-house counsel during a secondment to a global technology company.
