What can I do for you
Sarah is a principal associate with over 15 years of experience in pensions law. Known for her clear, practical advice and approachable style, Sarah helps trustees and employers navigate complex pension challenges, from scheme restructures and mergers to benefit queries and regulatory changes. Her professional trusteeship background allows her to steer clients through strategic projects while managing the interests of all key stakeholders.
Supporting your ambitions
Sarah took the lead non-partner role in advising the trustee of a large multi-employer defined benefit scheme with multiple sections and benefit structures. In this role, Sarah was regularly instructed on a wide variety of matters such as drafting key scheme documents, advising on the impact of restructuring proposals, and dealing with benefit queries. Sarah was able to draw on her trusteeship expertise to carefully and logically guide the scheme through sometimes complex projects and seek pragmatic, commercial solutions. She understands the importance of working closely with both trustees and employers – as far as Sarah is concerned, pension schemes work best and matters can be resolved more effectively when all key stakeholders and their advisers work together.

In her spare time Sarah sings competitively in a medal-winning barbershop chorus, a hobby which has taken her around the UK and the world. She has found many transferrable skills between singing and law – the importance of listening, a willingness to take on new challenges and the ability to engage an audience in word (or song!).
