A former SFO employee, Olivia has experience of working inside large-scale bribery and corruption investigations.

Prior to joining Hickman & Rose, Olivia completed pupillage at a leading criminal chambers, where she drafted submissions relating to large-scale bribery prosecutions, benefit fraud and possession of articles for use in fraud. She also appeared on behalf of clients charged with a range of fraud offences. She received recognition for her careful advocacy and drafting skills, as well as for her compassionate approach to clients.
Owing to the fast pace of a criminal practice at the junior bar, Olivia has developed an ability to digest large volumes of information and to evaluate the strengths of a case within a short period of time. As a barrister at Hickman and Rose, she applies this skill to technical and long-spanning investigations.
