Olivia Chalmers
Work Department
Corporate Commercial
Position
Olivia is a Partner within our Corporate Commercial team.
Olivia has pursued a dual specialism in both Corporate Commercial and Commercial Property work. Olivia’s clients find this to be of particular assistance when their matters overlap both areas, which is often the case with business disposals and acquisitions. Olivia has developed a portfolio of regular clients including established commercial businesses and high net worth private individuals, all of whom appreciate the pragmatic and down to earth advice which Olivia is able to offer.
Career
Olivia joined Hunt & Coombs in 2014 and, after completing her training contract with the firm, qualified as a solicitor in March 2017. Olivia has since been promoted to Partner in April 2022.
