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

We are highly skilled, have diverse perspectives, and are united in our drive to do things better.

Our culture

Our approachable and inclusive culture isn’t an added extra; it’s fundamental to our success. We cherish and protect it by living our values and rewarding behaviours that support them. The values that run through everything we do are being committed to excellence, proud of what we do, curious to know more, supportive and generous, and free to be ourselves.

“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 sharpening our focus on sectors, we’ve been able to hone our knowledge and expertise to anticipate the changes that will have the biggest impact for our clients. Our global approach to client service combines sharp legal expertise, in-depth understanding of our clients and the markets they operate in, and the global issues driving change 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 – such as succeeding with artificial intelligence, sustainable financing or future-proofing supply chains. With expertise gained from the best legal training, combined with high-level client exposure and secondments, you’ll be helping our clients to make the best choices for their business today and tomorrow.

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. We work in partnership with our clients to become an extension of their team - so much so, that many of them ask us for secondees, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to experience first-hand the day-to-day challenges they’re facing, grow your network and develop an insider sector insight that can be used to shape your career.
