Director of Pricing

ArentFox Schiff

Mary C. Oliver, Esq., is Director of Pricing at ArentFox Schiff, where she leads the firm's pricing, legal operations, and matter management functions and helps shape firm strategy at both the operational and practical levels. She advises firm leadership on decisions affecting market position and profitability and partners with attorneys and legal teams to improve the economics of each engagement and the client experience. Since arriving in March 2024, she has grown her team to span three offices while expanding adoption and integration throughout the firm's practice groups.

 Over more than a decade in Big Law, Mary has made a career of bringing new ways of working to firms and legal teams that didn't have them yet, establishing and scaling pricing and project management programs from their earliest days. She leads not only teams but change itself, building consensus at every level of the organization and earning trust one matter and one relationship at a time.

 Before ArentFox Schiff, she served as Associate Director of Legal Project Management at White & Case LLP, where she introduced LPM to its Washington, D.C. office and ultimately oversaw the practice across 11 offices in the Americas.

 Mary's expertise lies in data-driven solutions, translating complex financial information into action and working with executives, practitioners, and clients to guide pricing decisions, win new business, and grow profitability. A skilled change agent, she turns analysis into momentum, helping firms move from initial adoption to lasting, firmwide habits.

 Outside the office, Mary is an avid golfer who plays recreationally with her wife and friends and competitively in interstate tournaments around Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
