Hi, I’m Oliver Pearson. I established Iter Consulting in 2020 to provide Commodities and Derivatives legal consultancy services to clients.

Before establishing Iter Consulting, I had been Senior Counsel for Goldman Sachs’ Global Markets and Commodities business in Asia- Pacific between 2010 – 2020. I was a Managing Associate at Linklaters and Counsel at Allen & Overy.

Regulatory

Preparation and training on compliance policies for Markets-related regulations (e.g. Market Abuse, Insider Trading). Frequent interactions with global regulators (e.g. CFTC, IOSCO and MAS) for OTC and Exchange-traded derivatives products. Conduct of regulatory surveys for clients across Asia-Pacific.

Skills Training

10 years of providing skills training for legal teams, focusing on building better client relationships; communicating more effectively; and leading successful teams.

Uniquely placed to help with 15 years of in-house experience

As an in-house counsel, I had always wanted my external legal service providers to be able to go further than simply answering my discrete legal questions. The answer to a question is only one small piece of providing a commercial solution to my institution. I wanted these service providers to understand the context of the question – where it came from, where the answers would be delivered and to whom.

I strive to be the service provider I had always wanted as an in-house counsel. My extensive in-house experience means that I am well-placed to help you and your team.
