Osborne Clarke (OC) has lost another partner with the departure this week of London-based employment specialist David Fisher for Field Fisher Waterhouse. Fisher joined the City firm on 3 February. He is the 14th partner to leave OC, which has been hit by the downturn in its core corporate technology market and a series of departures from its City arm, since the beginning of 2002.
