Sarah is a partner in the Insurance & Professional Risks team and global practice area lead for Insurance Disputes at the firm.
Sarah advises clients on the biggest and most complex insurance matters with a focus on construction, business interruption, credit and political risk and warranty and indemnity insurance claims. She is also well known for her work advising professionals in relation to negligence claims arising from these practice areas.
Sarah was one of the lead partners in the successful test case brought by the FCA and decided in the Supreme Court in 2021 concerning COVID-19 business interruption claims. She continues to assist clients with all types of claim arising from the pandemic. Many of her construction cases are technically complex, and she routinely advises on claims concerning the range of DE and LEG clauses in construction policies. She has also acted in many claims concerning political risk, such as expropriation and selective discrimination, and advises on claims and wordings in relation to credit risk policies. Warranty and indemnity insurance claims and tax liability claims also form an increasing part of her practice and she has excellent cross-over knowledge into M&A work.
She also has experience in relation to D&O (including in relation to class actions) and public liability, professional liability and property policies. Clients also call on her knowledge in relation to non-contentious aspects of insurance, including risk allocation under contracts, M&A insurance issues and policy wordings.
