About Sarah

I lead the Moore Barlow medical negligence team at Moore Barlow.  I have been qualified as a solicitor for more than 30 years and have specialised in medical negligence and personal injury throughout that time.

I now practise exclusively in the field of medical negligence from our Richmond office. My clients are based throughout the country, and I am happy to see clients at home, in one of our other offices in Surrey, Hampshire and London or at another suitable venue. I also act as a Court of Protection Deputy for clients who have received a substantial sum of damages.

My cases involve injuries of maximum severity and include brain injuries acquired at birth or as a result of infection. I also have an interest in cases arising from complex surgery, delayed diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome and delayed diagnosis of cancer. In 2024 I recovered over £35,000,000 in compensation for clients whose life changing injuries were sustained as a result of sub-standard medical treatment.

My role is to guide clients through the litigation process which can be complex and lengthy, and to maximise compensation. Clients who have sustained serious injuries often cannot work and need care and therapies in the future.

My experience is that clients seeking redress for clinical negligence are often looking for much more than compensation and often want answers and to ensure that medical mistakes do not happen again.

Sam’s story

Sam tells his very personal story of a delayed diagnosis of Cauda Equina syndrome and how that impacted his life.

Don’t take our word for it…

You have been utterly amazing and words cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done to get the justice that my father deserved. We are eternally grateful.

Client

I found her most empathetic and understanding, with an intimate knowledge of the complications associated. This is important ‘extra mile’ stuff, as it enabled us to establish an excellent working relationship almost immediately. She was upfront and honest about the process from the beginning, and showed an intimate understanding of its workings throughout.

Client

Sarah Stanton is a partner and brilliant to work with. Always has complex and interesting cases. She will battle for her clients but also knows when a case needs to be settled.

Legal 500, 2025

She is able to get eminent experts to report and attend meetings with amazing speed. She is pragmatic and a problem solver. She has built a solid relationship with the claimant, which is extremely important.

Client

A legal case is always a daunting consideration but Sarah and her colleagues made it as bearable as it possibly could have been. This was done in the first instance with honesty about what would come and an intimate understanding of the negligence that I had suffered. As time went on she displayed an incredible knowledge of the process and most importantly showed true empathy. Every effort was made at every instance to minimise the impact on my life and well being and to top it all off the case concluded with the best possible outcome, surpassing any previous expectations. My unending thanks and gratitude to Sarah and all.

Client

She’s very thorough when she’s committed to the case. She provides you with her complete backing.
