Sarah, who has joined the Liverpool and Wirral practice from Hill Dickinson, has over 20 years’ experience working in family law. In 2021 she was crowned family law chartered legal executive of the year at the Family Law Awards.

She has been a member of Liverpool Law Society’s family law sub-committee since 2011, assisting director Jo Downey in organising the organisation’s private child conference and family finance conference.

Haley Farrell, deputy managing director and head of family law at Jackson Lees Group, said: ‘With her vast experience in family law and her passion for helping others and making a positive difference, Sarah is a tremendous addition to our expanding team.

‘We are delighted she has joined us as we develop the practice with our focus on growth and providing exceptional client care across Merseyside and the north west.’

Sarah said: ‘I like that I act as a confidant for clients within my work, as it allows me to show the empathy they deserve when dealing with sensitive matters.

‘I am excited to put this into practice and lend my support to clients and the family team at Jackson Lees.’
