Sarah Robson

Alpha Court Chambers

Sarah Robson’s principal strengths are her exceptional command of costs law, meticulous preparation, and strategic approach to technical disputes. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of fixed costs case law and the fixed costs rules, which is plainly an area of real specialism and forms a significant part of her day-to-day practice. She is particularly strong on Portal issues, procedural authorities, and matters requiring detailed technical analysis and a confident grasp of the rules and authorities. She presents arguments in a firm and effective manner. However, it would do her a disservice to define her too narrowly by reference to fixed costs alone, as she is equally capable of dealing with other costs and specialist matters.
