Ben Shillito

Ben founded and leads the digital consultancy, Olus. 

Olus is committed to empowering the legal industry to thrive in the digital era, and partners with law firms and corporate legal teams to embrace cutting-edge technologies, foster cultures of growth, and deliver sustainable, long-term value. 

Prior to founding Olus, Ben Shillito led the Digital Legal Services team at Fujitsu, where he continues to work closely with a global team of lawyers, legal engineers, and operations specialists. The team operates with a worldwide scope to drive a digitally enabled approach to complex multi-jurisdictional legal services. 

The team were recognised at the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Awards as the most digitally innovative team for leading a global digital transformation programme. The programme reimagined the value the function can deliver, and its purpose in the Fujitsu Group, using data, technology, and standardisation, as well as cultural and behavioural change initiatives.

Ben began his career in London at Hogan Lovells before moving to the legal team at Hewlett Packard Enterprise and then Fujitsu. At Fujitsu, Ben led the UK Commercial team, and then the UK Legal team, where he was recognised on the Legal 500 GC Powerlist 2021.
