Environmental

Sarah is regularly instructed to defend both individuals and companies charged with regulatory offending.

She has defended in cases prosecuted by the Environment Agency, including waste disposal and waste management cases.

Sarah brings her 25 years of experience at the criminal bar to bear when examining both the evidence of witnesses and documentary evidence.

Sarah is keen to be involved in the case from an early stage, especially where may be anticipated or concurrent civil proceedings.

Approachable and level-headed, she is well-placed to defend companies and individuals facing allegations that can have extremely serious commercial consequences and she has extensive experience in dealing with cases that are very sensitive in nature.
