OSM Legal Consultants: boutique criminal defence in central London

OSM Legal Consultants is an independent boutique law firm based in central London, a one-minute walk from the High Court of Justice. The firm presents itself as a small, close-knit team of specialists wholly dedicated to its clients, with a track record that, according to its own account, spans more than twenty years and thousands of cases. Its work focuses on criminal defence, particularly against false accusations and wrongful convictions.

The firm states that it regularly receives referrals from some of the UK's most renowned law firms, which it attributes to its adherence to high professional standards. Since 2003 it claims to have assisted numerous innocent individuals, prioritising their convenience and offering a personalised legal service.

Practice areas

Its services are organised around six main areas of criminal defence:

• Murder: defence of individuals accused of murder or under investigation for homicide, with strategies tailored to each case.
• Drug offences: possession, trafficking and cultivation.
• Fraud: defence against accusations with personal and professional consequences, including banking and financial fraud.
• Money laundering: specialist defence and confiscation proceedings.
• Sexual offences: representation in cases of rape, sexual assault and historical charges.
• Violent offences: comprehensive legal support for individuals accused of violent crimes, including robbery with weapons or violence.

The firm also mentions defence in cases of house theft and international extradition proceedings.

Police station assistance and urgent availability

OSM Legal offers free police station representation when the suspect contacts the firm immediately upon arrival at the police station or upon receiving a summons by post. The firm states that it handles urgent matters outside office hours, including evenings and weekends, and that the first consultation is free to assess the case and advise on next steps.

Geographic coverage and Spanish-speaking clients

The firm represents clients in England, Wales and Scotland, regardless of the city where proceedings take place. One of its distinguishing features is its service to the UK's Latin American and Spanish-speaking community: the team works in Spanish and presents itself as familiar with the needs of this group.

The founder

Orlando Sánchez heads the firm. He is described as a specialist in criminal defence litigation, a Spanish speaker with extensive experience in international extradition and domestic criminal law. His practice covers complex, high-value cases, including multiple murders, rape, drug importation, money laundering and confiscation proceedings, as well as banking and financial fraud.

Stated values and approach to work

The firm builds its identity around five values: empathy, excellence, justice, integrity and compassion. It presents itself as the client's ally in navigating complex legal challenges, with personalised attention, strategic guidance and support throughout the process. It emphasises its commitment to the community and a client-centred approach.

Cases and updates

The firm publishes news about recent matters. In March 2026 it reported an acquittal after a contested trial at Inner London Crown Court, secured together with Rustem Guardian Solicitors and instructed counsel Sapna Devi, of Millennium Chambers. The defence focused on the evidential context and disclosure, including the background to the incident.
