Family
Rachel’s approach is constructive and team-based, and she always put the needs of the children front and centre.
She likes to work with clients, their ex-partners and the other lawyers to try to agree fair solutions. This means that she is often able to help clients reach agreement without having to go to court.
Where court is the only remaining option, Rachel’s clients know that they will be fully supported throughout the process. They know what to expect at every stage, and have clear advice as to the likely outcome.
Rachel’s clients expect a good service, and they get it in spades. They also get warmth, humour and understanding – whatever their circumstances.
Rachel Osgood takes a keen interest in the latest legal developments and has been published numerous times in a variety of periodicals, most recently in Resolution’s Review and HNW.
Rachel primarily works in the London office.
Work highlights
DIVORCE
Rachel recently acted for a husband who was desperate to achieve a clean break, but although he was a high earner, there were insufficient assets to compensate the wife for the loss of his financial support. Nevertheless, a clean break was achieved, to the huge delight and relief of a grateful client.
FAMILY TRUSTS
In a case involving family trusts worth over £20m plus assets of £7m (including a vast number of single purpose companies), Rachel acted for the wife and helped to secure a successful outcome for her client, including the recovery of a substantial part of her costs.
