Oliver is a Legal Director in our litigation team.
He is a commercial litigator who handles a wide variety of commercial disputes. His work has a particular emphasis on contract claims as well as shareholder, director and other company-related disputes.
Oliver has been recognised by The Legal 500 as a “rising star” for dispute resolution in 2023 and 2024 and as a “leading associate” for commercial litigation in 2025.
Oliver acts for a wide range of organisations from small family-owned companies to large PLCs as well as individuals across a variety of sectors.
He is a member of our professional services team, with a particular interest in advising other lawyers. Oliver also has a good understanding of rural businesses, such as those connected with agriculture and forestry.
Oliver is a former corporate transactional solicitor, as well as someone who has previously spent time working in-house on secondment at a large commercial client in the manufacturing sector and therefore appreciates the need for advice to be clear, pragmatic and commercial.
Oliver joined us in 2013. He is based in our Manchester office.
“I'd like to highly recommend Oliver Andrews and his team at Brabners. We looked into the possibility of working with a number of law firms on a highly sensitive and complex matter. Our work is quite unique and the team at Brabners took time to thoroughly understand our programme and desired outcome. The quality of their work was excellent and extremely effective. We're truly delighted with the outcome and as such have already engaged their services again.”

“I worked with Lupa Begum and Oliver Andrews for 13 months on a case that was very personal to me. Throughout the whole process I felt confident that I had made the right choice by choosing to work with them both. I felt supported and guided... Both Lupa and Oliver always put me at ease when the case was emotionally draining. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more supportive people to help me through a very challenging time.”
