Three lawyers at international legal practice Osborne Clarke’s Bristol office are among eight being promoted to partner in the UK.
The move brings the total number of partners internationally to more than 260 at the firm, which has its roots in Bristol.
The new partners come from a range of sectors, including energy and utilities, financial services, real estate and infrastructure and digital business.
The three new Bristol partners are Alexandra Gower, pictured top right, a real estate and infrastructure sector expert specialising in construction and engineering, Charles Crowne, pictured left, who specialises in commercial disputes across the financial services and digital business sectors, and real estate and

Osborne Clarke UK managing partner Ray Berg said: “I’d like to thank all of our new partners for their outstanding performance and contributions, which have helped to ensure the ongoing success of our business.
“We’re also proud to see so many new female partners in this round, which shows our strategy is really paying off. Diversity is an important part of our 2020 vision and will continue to be key to our strategy going forward.
“It’s very important to our senior leadership team that people from all kinds of backgrounds, have the freedom to progress and equal opportunity to use their talents to the full at Osborne Clarke and for the benefit of our clients.”
Internationally Osborne Clarke also made a number of appointments across Europe and Asia at the start of the year.
