Sarah is an associate in the family team based in London. Her practice encompasses all aspects of private family law, including financial remedy proceedings and child arrangements following marital or relationship breakdown, divorce and separation. She also advises on pre- and post-nuptial agreements and cohabitation disputes.
A significant number of Sarah’s cases involve complex financial disputes with an international element. She has experience in the enforcement of financial remedy orders where one party fails to comply, including those involving the non-disclosure of assets. She has an understanding of LGBTQ+ family issues, including international and domestic surrogacy. While Sarah has a growing experience of litigation at all levels, including in highly contested court proceedings in the Court of Appeal and High Court, she is also committed to working with clients out of court to constructively resolve matters where appropriate.
I am passionate about my work and understand the importance of listening to clients and building trusting relationships. My aim is to support clients during what is often a difficult and emotional time to secure positive and practical outcomes. Clients have praised my calm, empathetic and robust approach.
In April 2022, Sarah was mentioned in The Times following her success in issuing the first no fault divorce application in England and Wales. She is a member of Women in Sport Law and part of the firm’s sport and entertainment group. She has a keen interest in promoting the firm’s global offering for sports individuals and athletes.
Sarah qualified as a solicitor in September 2023 after training at Penningtons Manches Cooper. Prior to joining the firm, she worked in clinical psychology as an honorary assistant. Sarah studied psychology at The University of Edinburgh, before completing the Graduate Diploma in Law at City, University of London and graduated from the Legal Practice Course at BPP University with distinction. She is a member of Resolution, an organisation which promotes a constructive approach to resolving family law matters, and a member of the Society of Scottish Lawyers in London.

What people are saying
Sarah is an excellent communicator, especially when discussing complex court processes and in-depth legal matters which can be very confusing to those outside the profession.
I’m very grateful to have Sarah guiding me during the stress and uncertainty of my divorce. Sarah has been a consummate professional throughout.
With her sharp mind and kind nature I know that I am in good hands. I would recommend Sarah to anyone else facing difficult family law matters.
