Her policyholder clients come from a wide variety of industry sectors, with a particular focus on financial and other professional services, technology, leisure and entertainment, energy and manufacturing.

In addition to her coverage practice, Sarah represents directors, trustees, and other professionals in the mitigation and defence of professional liability claims.
