History

Olswang was founded in 1981[12] by Simon Olswang and Mark Devereux,[9] who was the firm's senior partner.[8] as a breakaway from property law firm Brecher & Co.[13] Its early reputation was primarily based on film and media work.[9] The firm grew rapidly through the 1990s, developing more of a focus on technology as well as media.[13] In common with other professional service firms, Olswang converted to a limited liability partnership status under English law with effect from 1 May 2009.

Olswang merged with CMS Cameron McKenna LLP and Nabarro LLP on 1 May 2017 with the name CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP.[14]
