Osborne Clarke (OC) has strengthened its litigation and TMT practices with the hires of Tom Ellis and John Buyers from Wragge & Co and Stephenson Harwood respectively.

Ellis will join OC's dispute resolution team in London on 20 February following three-and-a-half years at Wragges.

His arrival comes on the back of the recruitment of international arbitration expert Greg Fullelove as a partner from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in September 2012 and brings the number of partners in OC's commercial litigation team to seven.
