About Sarah
I focus my practice on long-term property advisory support to landowners, landed estates, farming businesses and families, equestrian businesses, vineyard owners, country house estates and the next generation, helping my clients and their professional advisers navigate the nuances of rural property ownership.
This includes (but is not limited to) general property advisory and transactional work, rural asset management support, agricultural tenancy advice, renewables work and strategic succession planning with families and their professional advisers for passing land and assets to the next generation.
My aim is to be your trusted long-term legal adviser, supporting you, your families, and your other professional advisers with your legal needs. I work closely with my clients’ accountants, land agents and bankers to ensure a streamlined, cost effective and strategic advisory approach. I would love to help you or your clients, please do reach out to me.
I am a real estate lawyer by background with twenty years’ experience in the rural sector. I lead a Rural Property team of lawyers dedicated to providing you and your clients with a team focussed, personal and efficient service. I also lead my firm’s Rural Services sector team compiling twenty plus lawyers for Moore Barlow LLP out of which we are able to provide a full legal service to our rural sector client base.
My team is widely involved in our local and national rural industry bodies and communities with connections to many other professional teams and advisers.
I have been individually listed by Chambers and Legal 500 since 2014 for my work in this sector, and by Spears since 2021 as a leading individual in the Agriculture and Estates sector. Our Rural Services sector team is a leading first rated team for these directories in the South and recognised alongside leading London firms for national work in this sector, reflective of our dedication to the rural sector and our ability to service its legal needs.
Outside of work I am a mother, wife, sheepdog owner, horse mad country life enthusiast!
