The firm specialises in representing clients with high value assets across multiple jurisdictions.

Osbornes has been providing legal advice to individuals for nearly 50 years. The firm has built a reputation for delivering the highest quality in client care. The firm is proud that the majority of instructions come from existing clients or new clients who have been recommended to the firm. The partnership currently numbers 20, plus 65 other fee-earners, with 120 staff in total.

The firm also places much importance on staff development and has a track record of investing in trainees and junior lawyers, many of whom sit round the partnership table today.

‘Mark Freedman is a very capable lawyer, renowned for not being a pushover and pushing his clients’ cases as much as he can, but will always talk sensibly about settlement. He is among the best – tenacious, good judgment and tactically aware.’

Legal 500 2021

Legal 500 2021

‘Lisa Pepper was recommended to me as non-nonsense, and able to help me with a difficult and confrontational divorce. She more than lived up to that – she was practical, collected and always available with a clear opinion and suggestions of how to move forwards. She also was open and helpful about costs and how to mitigate them.’
