“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"

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.
