Practice Areas

Sarah Bray heads the property team at the firm, with a primary focus on residential transactions. She has acted for developers in Gibraltar for over fifteen years and was first ranked in Chambers & Partners Europe in 2017.

Her work involves the assisting and advising clients on the sale and purchase of properties within Gibraltar, acting on behalf of banks and lenders, providing advice in matters of financing and security. She represents lessors and management companies across various well-known Gibraltar developments such as Kings Wharf, Atlantic Suites and the Cornwall’s Centre. She is currently acting on the One Bayside, Gibraltar project, which is a sustainable and eco-conscious new residential development in Gibraltar and the CitiHome development, a new and exciting project for Gibraltar’s first fully-serviced apartments.

Sarah's comprehensive approach and commitment to excellence in real estate has made her a very well respected figure in the sector.

Beyond property work, Sarah has contributed to the legislative landscape in Gibraltar. She drafted the Fair Trading Act, which established the legal framework for Gibraltar’s first Office of Fair Trading. She also drafted the Lasting Powers of Attorney & Capacity Act 2018. Whilst general powers of attorney existed under Gibraltar law prior to this Act, they would become invalid in the event of a donor losing their mental capacity. The new legislation specifically addressed planning for future incapacity. Sarah's dedication to this cause is evident in her efforts to educate people on the topic via breakfast briefings, information booklets, videos and workshops since the legislation was implemented.

Sarah was a Gibraltar scholar during her school years. She graduated from the University of Leeds in 2007 with a first-class honours degree and attended the Legal Practice Course in York. She started working in Gibraltar in 2008 and was called to the Gibraltar Bar and registered on the UK Roll of Solicitors in 2010.
