Oliver Glasgow KC was appointed First Senior Treasury Counsel in 2021 and is on the Attorney-General’s list of approved counsel. He is known for meticulous preparation, exceptional advocacy, and is “an especially good cross-examiner.” He is recognised as a leading silk in both the Chambers UK Guide and the Legal 500.
He divides his practice between high-level criminal work, public inquiries and inquests involving government, military, or security services, and complex quasi-criminal and regulatory matters. He appears for major prosecuting authorities in high-profile trials, earning praise from judges and opponents alike as “a different class from most.”
He advises and represents government agencies in inquiries and inquests engaging national security interests, where his advocacy has been described as “something special.” He also acts for agencies, companies, and individuals in regulatory and health and safety investigations and proceedings, recognised for being “commercial, hard-working and very approachable.”
Awards include Crime and Extradition Silk of the Year, Legal 500 UK Bar Awards 2022, and Crime Silk of the Year, Chambers UK Bar Awards 2023.
