Sarah is a Senior Associate with over 10 years’ experience, specialising in matrimonial and family law.

Having experience dealing with a diverse range of clients, Sarah advises on a variety of family related matters including financial provision on divorce, care arrangements for children, cohabitation, and guardianships. Sarah also takes particular interest in wealth planning, advising clients on pre-nuptial and pre-cohabitation agreements. She is committed to the constructive and creative resolution of matters for clients.
