Sara studied law at the University of Sheffield attaining an Honours degree in Law before completing her Legal Practice qualifications at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne. Since qualification in 2002, Sara has practiced exclusively in family law working at a number of Legal 500 and well respected firms, initially in the North East of England and following relocation to Essex in 2013, with E J Coombs Solicitors.

She has been a member of Resolution for many years and adopts the Resolution Code of Practice when dealing with family disputes. Sara has a wealth of experience in all areas of private family law, most particularly in divorce/separation and financial disputes, acting in a number of complex matters, often involving high net worth individuals and business structures.

Sara is extremely client focused and acutely aware that each individual client’s needs are different. Sara prides herself on being understanding and approachable and believes in giving realistic and sensible advice. She aims to resolve matters constructively and without contested court proceedings if possible. When matters are within the court arena, Sara conducts much of her own advocacy.

Away from work, Sara enjoys spending time with her family and two lively dogs.
