Experience

Carol Osborne is a partner in Holme Roberts & Owens’ Los Angeles office. She also works regularly in our London office. Her corporate practice focuses on complex transactional and business counseling matters, such as entity formation; commercial transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations and divestitures; commercial real estate development and leasing; financing and securities matters; and corporate governance for public and private companies.

Ms. Osborne joined the Folger Levin & Kahn (FLK) office in San Francisco as an associate in 1991 after beginning her career with Pettit & Martin.  In 1996, she relocated to Guam and practiced with Blair Sterling Johnson Martinez & Leon Guerrero PLC for three years. She rejoined FLK in 1999 with a mandate to build a corporate practice in Los Angeles and became a partner in 2001. In 2006, she became General Counsel to LECG Corporation, a publicly-traded expert services and consulting firm, and later served in a business role as Managing Director of FAS Operations. Ms. Osborne returned to FLK as a partner in February 2009 and served as chair of the firm's business development committee before joining HRO in 2009.
