Position
Sarah is a senior associate in the Commercial Dispute Resolution practice and is based in the Milton Keynes office.
Sarah is an experienced litigator whose practice area covers all aspects of commercial and corporate litigation. She is technically accomplished and commercially focused.

She has dealt with matters in the High Court, First-Tier Property Tribunal and Court of Appeal and also has wide-ranging experience in both domestic and international arbitrations.
Sarah’s clients range from high net worth individuals to large global companies. She acts regularly for a number of large financial institutions on professional indemnity claims against surveyors and solicitors, and complex possession and forfeiture matters.
