Pippa Byrne

Pippa Byrne is a partner in Osborne Clarke's London office and head of UK Private Equity, leading a growing team of expert Corporate lawyers.

She leads a senior-led, relationship-driven practice, primarily advising institutional investors and their portfolio companies at all stages, from investment to exit. She offers clients decisive, cohesive and commercially-focused advice across the UK and internationally.

She consistently leads transactions for many of the firm's institutional investor clients across a variety of sectors, including financial services, TMT and life sciences. She also has a strong track record advising founders and management teams receiving investment from private equity funds on their reinvestment terms.

Pippa combines deep private capital expertise with strong core M&A capability, allowing her to navigate complex transactional issues. This, in turn, allows Pippa to help clients execute transactions efficiently in fast-moving market conditions, across jurisdictions.

With a background in leading operations at an energy consultancy, she brings a unique perspective that enables her to deliver proactive, decisive and tailored advice grounded in clients' commercial reality. She knows the value of relationships, and invests time to establish long-lasting connections with clients; understanding their current and future strategic objectives.

Pippa has long stood out as one of the best in her field, and we can see why.

Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

As a consequence of my previous position outside of law, heading up the operations of an energy consultancy company, I have a solid understanding of what clients want from their lawyers.
