Osborne Clarke LLP
At Osborne Clarke LLP, clients range from traditional financial services companies to alternative lenders and fintech providers. Other recognised practitioners include Tom Ellis and recently promoted partner Nick Price, who are singled out as ‘real heavyweights with great caseloads’. In October 2022, the team benefitted from the arrival of Benedicte Perowne, formerly of Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, who has extensive experience handling all aspects of interactions with the FCA and PRA, from authorisations, to notifications, to enforcement. Rachel Couter oversees the offering.
