Services
Court of Protection
We assist families in protecting vulnerable individuals through Court of Protection proceedings. Our specialists help establish deputyships and manage financial affairs for those lacking mental capacity. With extensive experience in complex cases, we provide clear guidance on legal responsibilities while maintaining compassionate support for both deputies and their loved ones.
Medical Negligence
Our accredited Medical Negligence team investigates substandard healthcare outcomes. We represent clients in claims against hospitals and medical professionals, focusing on cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and birth injuries. With APIL membership assurance, we secure compensation for ongoing care and rehabilitation while holding healthcare providers accountable for preventable harm.
Personal Injury
We pursue compensation for clients injured through no fault, including road accidents and workplace incidents. Our specialists calculate full financial losses while coordinating rehabilitation programs. With a focus on long-term recovery, we ensure clients receive appropriate medical treatment funding and secure future financial stability through comprehensive compensation settlements.
Residential Conveyancing
Our conveyancing solicitors streamline property transactions for buyers and sellers. We handle contract exchanges, title transfers, and legal due diligence with transparent pricing. With digital document management systems and dedicated case handlers, we ensure smooth completions while providing clear explanations of property ownership obligations and responsibilities throughout the transaction process.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
We draft and register Lasting Powers of Attorney to protect future decision-making capacity. Our specialists explain different LPA types, register documents with the Office of the Public Guardian, and provide certification for attorneys. With digital asset guidance included, we ensure clients maintain control over health, welfare, and financial decisions even when later unable to communicate personal wishes.

Alison and Angela at Osborne Morris and Morgan handled the conveyancing for our first house purchase this year. They provided a quality service throughout, explaining the process clearly and responding promptly and helpfully to all the questions we had. Due to issues in the onward chain, our transaction took far longer than we had hoped and this added some complexities - and presumably extra work - on our side. However, this was all handled brilliantly by OMM and the original quote for conveyancing work was honoured. We would gladly recommend OMM to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the
