what our clients say....

Browne Jacobson have represented OSF in the UK for several years and we were once again impressed by our experience, this time with their corporate team advising on the purchase of Blueleaf. Jon and Harry proved to be an effective team, were always on hand to help and acted with confidence and professionalism through every twist and turn of the transaction, including working around time differences and managing the various parties involved in the transaction.

David Whitecotton, Legal Director of OSF

The professionalism of the team is a credit to Browne Jacobson. I look forward to working with Browne Jacobson on many funding rounds in the future, they are fantastic people to have on your side.
