THE TEAM

Osborne Clarke’s Solutions team plays a crucial role in helping clients explore exactly how they would like legal and related services to be delivered to maximise the value to their businesses. The team is client led, developing new products and services to deliver existing services better, and to deliver entirely new services to meet growing client needs. The team operates out of the UK and Europe, with teams of ex-lawyers, and technologists across locations.
Our Solutions programme has two key goals. First, to make sure we’re responding to client demands for greater value, efficiency and certainty from their lawyers, whilst maintaining the highest quality. Secondly, in helping us bring innovative ideas to the delivery of our, or our clients’, current and new, services. A significant part of this innovation involves integrating AI technologies throughout our offering.
We want to ensure our lawyers have the best products and resources needed to provide the best possible service to our clients.
