OSBORNES SOLICITORS ON THE MOVE
Long established Camden Firm moving to Pratt St NW1
Osbornes has been a feature on Parkway for more than thirty years but over the last five years the firm has doubled in both size and turnover. More space is needed for both employees and clients and so the firm is re-locating to newly refurbished offices at Livery House, 9 Pratt Street London NW1.
Osbornes was first established in 1973 and now has more than 50 staff, making it one of the largest and most successful law firms in North London. The new offices will reflect this; with more than 11000sqft and covering five floors (one newly constructed with views over the City and West End), there will be plenty of room to enable clients to be seen in privacy and comfort and for further anticipated expansion.
Osbornes’ expertise is wide ranging and focuses on Family Law alongside International Adoption and Child Abduction work together with Personal Injury, Residential and Commercial Property transactions, Property and Probate Litigation, Licensing, Housing, Wills, Trusts and Estates. The firm also has trained mediators who can help in the early resolution of disputes.
Osbornes’ reputation stems from working in specialist teams. Lawyers work for private individuals, small businesses, larger companies, banks, government institutions and housing associations, dealing with cases ranging from road traffic accident claims, property sales and purchases, divorce and property disputes to wills and tax planning.
