Costs lawyer promoted to partner

Harmans Costs have announced the appointment of Sara Gould as partner.

Sara has been with Harmans for seven years, having worked previously for a prestigious London law firm as a paralegal. She qualified as a costs lawyer in 2014 and is used to dealing with all aspects of costs including clinical negligence, catastrophic personal injury claims and actions against the police.  

Working out of Harmans’ Aylesbury office Sara will be working alongside partners Matthew Harman, Mary Collins, John Moss, Steve Jones and Jim Lines.

Matthew Harman says, “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sara as partner. She has proved herself to be a valuable member of the team since joining us in 2008 and her career in costs has since gone from strength to strength. Harmans are very much focused on building upon our already significant costs experience this year and Sara’s expertise and enthusiasm will certainly help us achieve our targets in 2015.”
