Sara Ludlow Lane
Sara studied Psychology at the University of Leicester and, following a year out in New York working for Mendes and Mount LLP, subsequently attended the Guildford College of Law to train as a solicitor.
Having qualified as a solicitor in 2006 and coming from a background working in Legal 500 law firms, Sara has a wide range of experience and practices in all aspects of divorce, financial disputes, injunctions and children disputes between both married and unmarried partners.
Much of her caseload deals with the financial implications on relationship breakdown, such as pension sharing, interim maintenance applications and seeking freezing injunctions to protect assets.

Sara has handled a number of complex cases, often with an international element, throughout her career. She also regularly prepares Separation Deeds, Cohabitation Agreements and Pre and Post Nuptial Contracts.
Unusual cases involve acting for an Australian Intervener in English divorce proceedings, and representing clients resident overseas.
Sara is a member of Resolution, the nationwide organisation of family lawyers committed to a constructive, non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes. Members encourage solutions that consider the needs of the whole family and, in particular, the best interests of the children.
Sara is particularly sensitive to the potential for emotionally and financially draining court appearances so her services always go the extra mile for her clients. Indeed, over 90% of her cases are settled without either party ever stepping into the court room.
