Ollie is a first seat trainee solicitor in the Competition department.
After graduating from Durham in 2021 and before beginning my law conversion course in 2023, I spent time cooking in various London restaurants and took on private catering jobs around the UK. This was a demanding but rewarding experience, and it gave me the chance to work with some interesting (and occasionally volatile) chefs - excellent preparation for the world of commercial law.
Outside of work, I'm an enthusiastic, if unremarkable, sportsman. I play for a cricket club in Battersea and have taken part in international matches against Romania, Slovenia and the Gambia. I also enjoy exploring London's incredibly diverse food scene.
During my vacation scheme in December 2022, I was particularly struck by how remarkably friendly, dedicated and talented the people at Travers are.
