Career

Sarah is a regulatory solicitor and experienced advocate who helps clients navigate the regulatory law that impacts on business life such as data protection, health and safety, fire safety, food safety, trading standards and environmental.

She acts for all types of organisations and individuals, including directors.

Sarah’s advisory work includes advising clients on compliance with regulations affecting their business, undertaking legal ‘health checks’, drafting policies and procedures and providing training.

Sarah’s objective is to help her clients stay on the right side of the law to minimise the risk of something going wrong and the possibility of an investigation and prosecution (which inevitably mean key people in the business being taken away from their usual roles), adverse publicity, hefty fines and a potential impact on future business.

When something does go wrong, Sarah works with her clients to achieve the best possible outcome and support them through the process. This includes representing clients at interviews under caution and at court.

As well as compliance and defence work, Sarah also prosecutes for private prosecutors. She believes that acting for prosecutors and defendants assists with how she approaches cases and is of benefit to her clients.
