Sarah is a partner in the commercial, IP and IT team, based in the London office.

She has a particular focus on technology law combined with an expert knowledge of intellectual property and the full range of legislation surrounding data, networks and systems.

Additionally, she has an in-depth understanding of the financial regulatory framework within which fintechs operate.

Acting for both tech sector clients, from SMEs to multinationals, and clients procuring technology, Sarah works with public sector and quasi-governmental bodies on critical policy and regulatory projects, particularly linked to the establishment of technology infrastructures to support AI and machine learning.

She has recently been engaged to advise on a number of data infrastructure projects establishing governance structures for sharing data, whether commercialising data through marketplaces, sharing data through hubs or ‘pooling’ data for analytics.
