- 'On real estate maters I work closely with Sarah Walker and have been doing so over the past few years. I find Sarah responsive and flexible in her approach to problem solving. She takes time to listen to our concerns and commercial drivers before providing legal advice, which is then both tailored and practical. Sarah is responsive and works effectively to meet deadlines and to ensure transactions are completed efficiently.'
