Joanna Osborne

Joanna qualified as a solicitor in 1989 and joined Edwin Coe’s Commercial Litigation team as a partner at the beginning of 2000, when the Property Litigation team was established. Joanna deals with all types of property disputes including joint venture and conveyancing disputes, trespass, party wall and developer claims, professional negligence and rectification claims, the full range of landlord and tenant disputes encompassing breaches of covenant, forfeiture, insolvency, rent arrears, possession and service charge issues, business lease renewals and dilapidations claims. She advises on commercial, residential and mixed use schemes. Before joining Edwin Coe Joanna was a partner in a niche litigation practice called Maislish and Co which specialised in high-profile and heavyweight general commercial disputes. She has acted in company and partnership disputes, construction claims, libel, professional negligence and general contract claims, all of which arise regularly in the property context. She therefore has an impressive breadth of experience to draw upon when advising property clients on their matters, which tend to be more technical and specialised than general commercial disputes. Whilst being assertive and tenacious, Joanna understands that the primary objective of a property client is usually to achieve the most commercially acceptable outcome given the practical requirements of their business and also the risks of litigation. This means that dispute avoidance is an important factor in initial advice. Where that does not resolve a dispute, then Joanna has considerable experience in alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation, PACT, single expert determination and arbitration.
