Oliver Gardner

Oliver, the managing partner and head of the Regulatory Crime, Personal Injury and Family Law departments, was the senior partner at Gardner Berke Solicitors until November 2008 when his practice was succeeded to by Howard’s. He was previously responsible for running one of the largest criminal defence practices in the country and has personally represented clients in some of the most high profile criminal cases.

In 1998 he successfully defended clients in what became known as the largest drug smuggling case this country had ever known and he also acted in a kidnapping case that produced the Country’s largest ever known submission of forensic evidence.

His attention to details has won him a reputation that has allowed him to develop a successful motoring law defence and regulatory crime practice and consequently he is now the first point of contact for many members of the police and ambulance services as well as the armed forces in addition to some very well known blue chip companies when they are facing any kind of prosecution.

Notwithstanding his no-nonsense approach to litigation his family law and personal injury clients describe him as sympathetic and sensitive to their needs so as to ensure their objectives are always met with the least amount of trouble.
