Sarah Walker

Sarah Walker trained as a corporate lawyer at Clifford Chance where she worked in the London and Singapore offices before becoming a family lawyer in 2017. Sarah has worked exclusively in family law since then. She initially worked at a city firm under the tutelage of Kelly Edwards before moving to Hughes Fowler Carruthers (“HFC”). At HFC Sarah worked with the renowned Frances Hughes on a wide range of cases, including the seminal case of Potanin v Potanin in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.

Sarah advises a wide range of clients based in the UK and abroad. She practises all types of family law. She deals regularly with complex financial disputes, which often involve offshore trusts, complex award packages, high value business interests and inherited or pre-acquired wealth. Sarah also works on private law children matters including relocation applications, parental alienation matters and residence and contact disputes.

Sarah graduated with a first-class degree in history from the University of Cambridge where she was awarded the Chadburn Scholarship and Jessie Forbes Prize for academic achievement. She attended Judge Business School also in Cambridge and has worked in the audit department of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Sarah achieved a distinction in her Legal Practice Course at the University of Law. She has also worked for the world leading human rights organisation, Liberty. Having worked outside of family law in the commercial and human rights sphere, Sarah brings a unique perspective to her cases.

Sarah is committed to trying to reach amicable solutions for her clients through negotiation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. However, she is a fierce litigator when the need arises.

Sarah is absolutely focused on achieving a positive outcome for her clients and is always willing to go the extra mile to achieve the best result.
