Her first chapter was as an associate and then partner specialized in international arbitration with what is now the world’s largest multinational law firm, Dentons (Salans at the time).

“Working with Sarah has been an incredibly enriching experience both personally and professionally. Sarah’s empathy, genuine interest in others, professional experience, ability to hone down on the core issues and solutions-oriented approach has been indispensable in helping me successfully navigate several professional twists and turns. After every conversation with Sarah - to which I often came confused and feeling stuck - I came out thinking clearly, feeling strong, empowered and inspired, and armed with a list of concrete steps to take. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who wants a better understanding of themselves and how to take their career to the next level.”
