Velocity Legal is proud to announce the promotion of Robert Osler to Director.

This is a significant milestone for Robert and for the firm.

Robert’s promotion recognises the major contribution he has made to Velocity Legal, the trust he has earned from clients and colleagues, and the leadership role he continues to play in the firm’s Commercial practice.

Robert is a highly regarded senior commercial lawyer who brings many years of experience to his role as Director. He is a trusted adviser to founders, private companies, business owners and growing enterprises on a broad range of commercial matters, with particular expertise in major mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance advisory and complex commercial contract negotiations.

His promotion to Director reflects not only the quality of his legal work, but the way he delivers it: with clarity, momentum, commercial judgement and a strong focus on helping clients move forward with confidence.

Robert also plays an important role in developing the next generation of commercial lawyers at Velocity Legal. He sets high standards, shares his knowledge openly, and supports junior lawyers as they build their technical skills, commercial judgement and confidence.

Robert is also the kind of colleague who makes the firm better. He is thoughtful, generous with his time, and steady under pressure, and he contributes strongly to the culture that matters deeply to Velocity Legal.

Velocity Legal Managing Director Andrew Henshaw said:

“Robert’s promotion to Director is a major moment for Velocity Legal. He is exactly the type of lawyer we want in our senior ranks: technically excellent, commercially astute and deeply committed to helping clients achieve clear outcomes. Robert has earned enormous trust from clients and colleagues alike. He is also a generous mentor to our junior lawyers and the kind of colleague who makes the firm better. That combination matters a great deal to us.”

On his promotion, Robert said:

“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to step into the role of Director at Velocity Legal. I’ve had the privilege of working with outstanding clients and colleagues, and I’m excited to continue helping business owners, founders and growing companies navigate important commercial decisions with confidence. Velocity Legal is a firm that values clear advice, strong relationships and practical outcomes, and I’m proud to contribute to that as part of the senior team.”
