Moore Blatch Resolve attracts specialist solicitor

Moore Blatch Resolve, the specialist personal injury and clinical negligence arm of leading law firm Moore Blatch, is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Osborne, taking the position of senior solicitor within its highly successful personal injury team.

Michael, who was previously a senior solicitor with a leading London firm where he specialised in claims for asbestos diseases, is now tasked with further developing the firm’s reputation within this area and positioning it as a specialist asbestos claims practice within the market.

Damian Horan, partner at Moore Blatch Resolve, says: “Michael brings with him a wealth of experience and we’re confident that this, coupled with his understanding and sensitive approach to handling client cases, will ensure the team goes from strength-to-strength.

“On average, in the UK alone, 13 people are dying every day due to exposure to asbestos and that number is unfortunately expected to keep rising until at least 2015. Michael’s specialist knowledge in this field will be invaluable in helping sufferers and their families get the compensation they deserve.”

Qualifying in 1993, highlights in Michael’s career include having his book, Asbestos Disease Claims: A Guide for Doctors and other Health Care Professionals, published in 2001. He has been a member of the steering committee of the British Lung Foundation’s mesothelioma awareness campaign and is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
