Sarah joined Judge & Priestley in January 2025 and is a Senior Associate Solicitor in the Family Department.

Experience and Expertise

Sarah is a highly experienced divorce and family law solicitor, with over eight years of post‑qualification experience advising clients on a wide range of family law issues. Following qualification in 2017, Sarah spent seven years working in a West End law firm, before joining the Judge and Priestley family law team.

Sarah specialises in all aspects of family law, offering clear, pragmatic and solutions‑focused advice during some of the most challenging moments in her clients’ lives. She is known for her ability to guide clients through complex situations with empathy, clarity and unwavering professionalism.

Her expertise includes divorce and separation, financial settlements, child arrangements, cohabitation disputes, and pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.

Approach

Clients consistently value Sarah’s attention to detail, her realistic and practical advice, and her ability to keep matters focused on constructive outcomes. She is committed to achieving early resolution wherever possible—whether through negotiation, mediation or collaborative approaches—but is equally a confident, and strategic representative when court proceedings are necessary.

Sarah takes time to understand each client’s individual priorities, concerns and long‑term goals, recognising that no two families or situations are the same. By listening carefully and tailoring her strategy to what matters most to each person, she ensures that every case is approached in the most effective and proportionate way. This personalised approach maximises the chances of achieving the outcomes clients are seeking, while keeping the process as clear, constructive and manageable as possible.
