Osbornes Law has welcomed Melissa Arnold as a partner in its family law department, continuing the firm’s strategic growth in one of London’s most respected family practices. Melissa brings over two decades of experience, including seven years as partner and family mediator at Bindmans, where she built a reputation for handling high-net-worth divorce, financial orders, and sensitive children matters.
Melissa said she was ‘very much looking forward to being on the same side for a change’, having previously worked alongside members of the Osbornes team. Her arrival is seen as a natural fit by managing partner Jo Wescott, who noted: ‘Melissa’s excellent reputation precedes her… her experience and expertise will be invaluable to her new colleagues and clients.’
The team has also been strengthened by the addition of Serena Sandhu as senior associate. Serena joins from Hopkin Murray Beskine Solicitors and is known for her work in child abduction, domestic abuse, and honour-based violence. She was recently named ‘Family Law Champion of the Year’ at the 2024 Family Law Awards.
With offices in Camden and Hampstead, Osbornes Law boasts one of the largest and most experienced family law departments in the capital. The team is consistently ranked by Chambers UK, The Legal 500, Tatler and Spears Advisory, and continues to attract top talent to support its growing client base.
