About us

We’re carving out a path for the future, taking law to places it’s never been.

At Osborne Clarke we’re exceptionally proud of what we’ve built and what we are.

With a global footprint and a clear vision, we work with the world’s most influential clients on their most vital matters. But as proud as we are of our achievements, what really sets us apart from other firms is the way we care about our people. That means investing in their future and supporting their well-being.

Our people

Highly skilled, with diverse perspectives, united in their drive to do things better.

Our culture

Driven by openness, fairness, curiosity, and inclusivity.

“There are many things that make Osborne Clarke special, but it all starts with our people. This is a place where high performance and a great culture sit side by side, where everybody is focused on our clients and also on supporting each other and where concern for quality and having fun aren’t contradictory. One of the best things is that we're always learning, as a business, as individuals and from each other – that's something we encourage from day one and throughout your career at OC.” - Conrad Davies, Managing Partner, UK

Tackle the biggest issues

At OC the challenges of tomorrow are the focus of today.

By zeroing in on Digitalisation, Decarbonisation and Urban Dynamics as the key areas transforming the way we live, work and do business, we’ve been able to hone our knowledge and expertise to the changes that will have the biggest impact both for our clients, and the world around us. Our three-dimensional approach to client service combines sharp legal expertise, in-depth understanding of our clients and the sectors they operate in, and the global issues driving transformation across their businesses.

Big themes, huge challenges. But what will this mean in practice for you as an OC lawyer?

It means you’ll have the opportunity to help our clients tackle their most pressing issues - like digitalisation, carbon regulation, sustainable financing or the future of work. With expertise gained from the best legal training, combined with high-level client exposure and maybe even secondments, you’ll be helping our clients to make the best choices for their business today and tomorrow.

"Curiosity, creativity and original thinking are crucial to help our clients navigate the worlds of Digitalisation, AI and Data, making it fascinating work. There are fantastic opportunities to build a successful and exciting career around these transformational technologies which will power our future world – and Osborne Clarke is the perfect place to develop and excel in this space." Tamara Quinn, Director - AI, Data & IP Knowledge

Work with incredible clients

From industry leaders and market disrupters to household names and start-ups, our clients represent a broad cross-section of business with differing interests, locations and cultures.

But what they all have in common is that they come to us time and again to help meet their biggest challenges. Whether that’s commercial contracting, financing, real estate, or disputes (and a lot more besides), they know that the curiosity, drive and outstanding expertise of our lawyers will deliver the results they need.
