Paul Osborne opens a new window

Senior Consultant


I am a senior consultant and co-chair of international at Fox Williams. I am passionate about building the Fox Williams business, maintaining its values and supporting clients in realising their potential and ambitions.


Paul is a senior consultant with the firm having previously been Head of Corporate for over 20 years and thereafter Senior Partner for 10 years during which time the firm enjoyed very significant growth in headcount, turnover, and profitability. Paul stepped down from this role in April 2023.

Throughout this period, Paul continued to handle domestic and cross border M&A, restructurings, venture capital and joint ventures. He has a wealth of experience acting on the buy and sell side for clients ranging from international and quoted companies to SMEs and individual vendors.

As a leader in his field and trusted business advisor, Paul will identify at an early stage the issues that really matter for his client and how best to ensure the clients objectives are met. He is excellent at devising negotiating strategies and tactically very smart. Paul’s continuing role will be part-time focussing on client advisory work and building the firm’s international footprint.

Feedback from clients’ state “Paul Osborne is well trusted and likeable. People get along with him. He is well respected and has a lot of clout” and “He has proved himself to be an outstanding negotiator. He is quick to appreciate the subtleties of a contractual discussion. He’s good at steering towards the outcome we wish to have”.

He has written for publications such as Financier Worldwide, Real Business and the Financial Times and features in the Smith & Williamson Hall of Fame as a Professional Practice Leader.
