Sarah's client experience has been broad and she has acted successfully for engineering clients against claims brought by a public body in the Technology and Construction Court as well as advising a group of residential home owners in a claim against a large national property developer that concluded in mediation. She has been involved in a number of cases involving highly technical specialist issues ranging from the wind induced dynamic responses of structures to mining and geotechnical matters. She has also acted successfully for a number of engineers and architects in respect of fee claims.
She has acted for insurers, engineers, architects, contractors and private clients on a range of construction, insurance and professional negligence disputes and has handled complex multiparty court proceedings and mediations as well as providing pre-action dispute advice and acting for her clients in adjudication matters. Her insurance experience includes advising on policy coverage issues and handling subrogated claims.
