Career
Sarah is the Regional Managing Partner for Irwin Mitchell’s Reading and Newbury offices, where she also heads up the local private client team.
She helps individuals and their families with all aspects of succession, tax and asset protection planning. This includes advice on wills, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, trusts, probate, powers of attorney and Court of Protection matters.
Whether it’s guiding clients through their options to maximise wealth for themselves and the next generation or helping them through the emotional time of bereavement or poor health, Sarah’s approach is refreshingly ‘unstuffy’, always professional, hopefully with a few smiles along the way and focussed on building long term relationships as a trusted adviser.
She works closely with other private client professionals, such as financial advisers, accountants and wealth managers, to complement the advice and services they give their clients
