Profile description
Sarah is an experienced and highly accomplished practitioner who specialises in criminal and family matters involving high value assets and complex financial arrangements. In her criminal work, she is a well respected jury advocate known for her experience of prosecuting and defending lengthy, complex, high value fraud and money laundering cases. Sarah has a loyal following of leading solicitors and is regularly instructed to defend in cases brought by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Specialist Fraud Division. She is renowned for her ability to master substantial and multifaceted issues.
Sarah has experience in all aspects of the financial proceedings that follow a divorce or separation; her knowledge and experience of international asset-tracing and complex offshore trust arrangements gained through her criminal work give her a distinct advantage in this area of work.
She is one of a handful of counsel at the Bar with experience of dealing with cases where there are contemporaneous proceedings in the criminal and family courts in relation to the same assets, and is therefore able to advise clients and appear in all aspects of both sets of proceedings.
