“I enjoy the human aspect of helping individuals defend claims brought against them”

“My field is insurance defence work. I enjoy the human aspect of helping individuals defend claims brought against them, and particularly enjoy helping clients resolve matters quickly and commercially.

Clients value me as an extremely diligent and efficient member of the team, and as someone who will ensure matters are always progressing. I’ve also gained a high level of insight into their needs via secondments with two different insurers in the London market.

I’m commercially minded, highly focused on outcomes, and always seek to provide clear and decisive advice. In respect of communication, I’m responsive, friendly, and approachable - and always available to discuss any issues over the phone or in person.”

Sarah’s recent work highlights:

Afan Valley Ltd & Ors v Lupton Fawcett (A Firm) & Others [2024] EWHC 909 (KB) (23 April 2024) – a £65m+ claim against a law firm.
