He is a member of the Law Society Family Panel at advanced level, an accredited resolution specialist in financial provision and children, and a trained collaborative family lawyer.

“I am very excited to be joining such a forward-looking, progressive and friendly firm,” said Mr Osborn. “Fisher Jones and Greenwood has an outstanding reputation and I hope to be able to play an important part in its continuing success as one of the region's leading law firms.”

Tony Fisher, senior partner, said: “We are delighted to welcome Simon to the team. He is highly experienced and will add further depth to our family team. He will be a great asset to the firm.”
