Fourth Circuit
In over twenty-five years of practice, Mr. Osnos has
consistently demonstrated a superior knowledge of the law which enables him
to devise creative solutions to his clients’ problems.
For example, in his successful representation of a business owner in
a lawsuit to invalidate a contract option to purchase 65% of the stock of
and control of his client’s business, and a related right of first refusal,
Mr. Osnos creatively applied an English common law doctrine introduced in
1682, rarely invoked in modern-day litigation, to achieve his client’s
desired results. He has also
effectively represented a non-profit horsemen’s association in the creation
of a for-profit subsidiary, negotiation and closing of the sale of a horse
racing track to the subsidiary, and financing of the acquisition by two
different lenders - without an equity contribution - within a three-week
period, culminating in a forty-eight hour closing, and resulting in the
establishment of the only horse racing track in the United States owned by
the association representing the horsemen racing at such track.
As the Practice Group Leader of the Firm’s
Litigation Practice Group, Mr. Osnos manages and directs the Firm’s
litigation attorneys in their mission to provide unequalled representation
and expertise to clients. He
also serves as a member of the Firm’s Executive Committee.
His successes both in and outside of the courtroom speak not only to
his legal acumen, but also to his dedication to client service which he
exemplifies in his leadership of the Litigation Section and throughout the
Firm.
Mr. Osnos was a member of the Special Joint
Committee of the Section of Business Law and the Section of Real Property,
Planning, and Zoning of the Maryland State Bar Association for the 2007
Report on Lawyers’ Opinions in Business Transactions.
Mr. Osnos currently serves his community as a Member of the Board of
