Spear’s Review
Justine Osmotherley has been a specialist matrimonial solicitor for over 26 years, and has grown the family law team at Leeds-based firm Clarion to 11 people.
Osmotherley says her approach is largely defined by a commitment to ‘dealing with all matters in as non-confrontational and amicable way as possible’. She believes such a stance ‘provides the best results for all involved, and it allows me to utilise my knowledge and experience to prevent conflict or distress’. Clients have responded in kind. ‘I have definitely noticed an increased awareness amongst our family law clients of alternatives to using court,’ she observes.
One specialism of Osmotherley’s is pre- and post-nuptial agreements. ‘There appears to be more willingness now by those marrying to have those grown-up, sensible discussions about what should happen if they divorce,’ she says.
