‘Martin Oliver is well respected in his specialist field of contentious probate. He has an excellent grasp of proprietary estoppel and difficult issues arising in a farming family. He has great clarity of thought in proposing a resolution.’
‘The team is extraordinary in the sense that although I've worked with most of them there doesn't seem to be a weak link. The knowledge, commitment, client handling skills, tactical insights and creative thinking seemed to run through the whole team like a seaside town's name in a stick of rock.'
