Oliver is an associate in the construction and dispute resolution team. He has advised on a variety of issues, from interim payment disputes to prolongation and liquidated damages claims and defect claims.

His clients include main contractors, mechanical and engineering contractors, carpentry and joinery specialists, recruitment agencies and labour suppliers, brick workers, scaffolders and groundworks companies. With extensive experience of resolving disputes through negotiation and court proceedings Oliver holds higher rights of audience.

I aim to have the best understanding possible of a client’s matter and end-goals, in order to provide both pragmatic and commercial advice. This requires a recognition that the human aspects of a matter are often as important as the legal ones.

Oliver Tyson, Associate

He joined the firm from a specialist construction practice, where he practised alongside a nationally renowned construction adjudicator. Consequently, he has a particular interest in adjudication and is well versed in the use of adjudication to recover unpaid money, as well as to resolve other construction related disputes.

This experience has led Oliver to conduct adjudications, both as a representative of the Referring and Responding Parties, before adjudicators nominated by the RICS, TeCSA, RIBA, ICE and, TECBAR. Oliver is also knowledgeable of the procedure for the enforcement of adjudicator’s awards and has been involved in adjudication enforcement matters which have been the subject of reported High Court judgments.

As an area of interest, Oliver frequently writes articles on developments on the law surrounding the adjudication process and enforcement. He qualified in 2020 and joined the firm as an associate in 2023.
