Osbornes Law—21 promotions

Firm adds three women to partnership in latest round of promotions

London law firm Osbornes Law has promoted three solicitors to partner as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.

The record round, which saw 21 people promoted across the firm, saw medical negligence lawyer Jodi Newton and private client lawyers Suzanna Baker and Katie de Swarte join the partnership.

It takes the total number of partners to 25, including 15 women.

Jodi is a highly respected clinical negligence solicitor with 20 years’ experience in birth injury cases. Suzanna specialises in non-contentious matters and is a 'Recommended Tax & Trust Lawyer' in the Spear’s 500. Katie is an expert in contentious trusts and probate matters and is ranked as a leading lawyer in the Chambers High Net Worth guide.

Many of the firm’s partners also trained at Osbornes, which has offices in Camden and Hampstead.

Managing partner Stuart Kightley says: 'It is a pleasure to welcome three fantastic solicitors to our partnership, congratulations to them all.

'To have promoted a record number of lawyers in our 50th year is a massive achievement for the firm and recognises their hard work and dedication to clients.

'Osbornes is home to a group of extremely talented lawyer and our clients are certainly in good hands, I hope for the next 50 years!'
