Sarah Unsworth is Senior Partner and Head of the Family team at Scott Bailey LLP.
Sarah has a wealth of experience in handling all aspects of divorce and civil partnership matters. She has a particular specialism dealing with complex financial issues arising from the breakdown of marriage, cohabitation or civil partnership, including disputes over property, pensions and maintenance. Sarah has represented a number of high-net-worth clients. She deals with financial disputes between unmarried couples and also prepares both prenuptial agreements and cohabitation contracts for couples.
Sarah qualified in 2002 after studying at the University of Lancashire and Chester College of Law.
Sarah is not only an experienced collaboratively trained lawyer, she is also an accredited mediator and is qualified to undertake hybrid mediation. She has successfully mediated issues relating to finance, future arrangements for children, property and pensions. Sarah is trained in Resolution Together (One Couple – One Lawyer) and is a member of Hampshire Family Legal Solutions, a multi-disciplinary team.
Sarah recognises the benefits of adopting a non-confrontational approach to avoid cases ending up in court – especially where there are issues which involve both finance and children.
