Sarah specialises in all aspects of residential property work both in and out of London. Sarah attended Cape Cornwall School and then obtained a law degree at King's College, London. She completed the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law in London. Following University, Sarah worked for a small firm in Fulham for two years and then joined Goodman Derrick LLP in 2007 as a paralegal in the Property Department (specialising in residential property), before commencing her formal training contract in September 2008. Sarah qualified in September 2010 and joined the Property department.
