Oliver Back

I lead our Contract and Commercial Risk practice, helping you manage risk and achieve greater value from your contracts and programmes involving third parties. I focus on the full contracting lifecycle, from procurement through to performance management and dispute resolution.

Before joining the firm, I spent over 15 years at the Big Four working in the UK and US, providing contract and commercial risk services across sectors including major infrastructure, transport, hotels and leisure, central and local government, health, oil and gas, mining and metals, automotive, banking, telecoms, media and technology.

I'm a fellow of the ICAEW, blending an audit and accounting background with deep contract and commercial experience. I help you gain greater transparency over the performance of your third-party relationships, ultimately enhancing profitability, reducing cost and boosting contractual outcomes.

Ask me about contract risk, commercial disputes, third-party performance, infrastructure contracts, procurement advisory and cost recovery.
