About

I am the Head of our Immigration practice and joined the firm fifteen years ago.

I have practiced exclusively in the field of immigration law since 1997 and advise across the full range of business and personal immigration categories. I have been heavily involved in lobbying Government on behalf of clients for changes to the immigration system over recent years and have significant senior level contacts at the Home Office. I am named by both the Legal 500 and Chambers as a noted practitioner in my field.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics and American Studies awarded by Keele University in 1988 and later studied for an LLB degree. I qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales in 1997 after completing the Legal Practice Course.

I am a member of the Immigration Law Practitioners' Association and IBA and am a lecturer on the De Monfort Law School's Post Graduate Certificate in Sports Law.

Testimonials

"Andrew Osborne is always approachable and provides practical, commercial immigration advice. This has been invaluable during the last 12-18 months, given the ever-changing uncertainty in the immigration landscape. His advice is considered in the wider corporate operational context, the same way that our business heads and stakeholders consider mobility overall."
