I am a senior freelance solicitor - regulated by the SRA.  I was Sarah Cleary until 2016. (For notable cases see Areas of Practice and the button at the bottom).

With over 20 years experience - many of these at partner level in corporate law firms - I offer precise, practical and efficient solutions to stressful personal, professional and business legal problems.  I am a specialist litigator, with regulatory investigations and business and professional compliance experience. 

Clients don't like having to see a lawyer, so I try and find the exit route for them - fast. 

Having started out as a London police station and criminal court duty solicitor - I moved into corporate and commercial crime, and regulatory investigations including business and professional compliance and related litigation.

Over the years I've represented businesses - from huge multi national corporations to family run SMEs and charities - individuals and directors - including of a major league football club, professionals - accountants and solicitors. Even police officers.   

In my role as an SRA approved COLP - legal compliance is also a specialism. 

With a Post-Graduate Diploma in Media Law and Journalism - focussing specifically on court reporting and open justice - I advise and represent at related applications and to media organisations. 

I also tutor and assess those sitting the solicitors professional exams - SQE - at post graduate level.
