Osbornes Law — Jonathan Jonas, Patricia McCaffrey & Amber Krishnan-Bird

Firm grows partnership with trio of internal promotions in family, personal injury and property

Osbornes Law has promoted three of its lawyers to partner, strengthening its family, personal injury, and property departments. Jonathan Jonas, Patricia McCaffrey and Amber Krishnan-Bird are among 11 lawyers elevated in the latest round of promotions, effective from 1 July.

Jonathan, a family lawyer who joined the firm in 2015, specialises in complex children cases and holds The Law Society’s Children Law Accreditation. He is also a solicitor advocate. Reflecting on his promotion, he said he was ‘proud to be part of a firm that values internal growth’.

Patricia, also with the firm since 2015, focuses on high-value personal injury claims, particularly those involving spinal cord injuries. She said she was ‘delighted to join the partnership and continue supporting seriously injured clients’.

Amber, currently on maternity leave, has been with Osbornes since 2016 and is known for her expertise in leasehold reform and commercial property. Managing partner Joanne Wescott said she was ‘thrilled’ to announce the promotions, adding: ‘These are the people whose exceptional talent and hard work ensures that we continue to deliver such positive outcomes for clients.’
