She regularly advises on risk management and governance issues associated with business, human rights and sustainability agendas, including regulatory and soft law standards, all of which is complimented by her wider disputes practice which focusses on fraud and technology/outsourcing disputes.
Sarah’s excellence is recognised by leading legal directory Chambers Global, who have consistently ranked her as a ‘Global Market Leader for Business and Human Rights Law’ since 2020. She is described as a ‘very skilful litigator’ and ‘a forward-looking lawyer’.
London Dispute Resolution Co-Head Rebecca Williams commented: “I am delighted to welcome Sarah to WFW, her experience across a wide range of ESG-related disputes compliments the firm’s existing expertise in environmental matters and will be key in enhancing our reputation across our core sectors as ESG disputes grow ever more pervasive”.
