Sarah Williams

Spear’s Review

Sarah Williams joined Forsters in 2025 to head up the firm's children practice within the family team. An authority on surrogacy, adoption and fertility matters, she emphasises a ‘child-centric’ approach to her work, prioritising what is ‘right for the client and right for the child’.

The affable family lawyer advocates alternative dispute resolution and says that mediation and arbitration are ‘absolutely what we will do’ before resorting to litigation.

Known for her work with vulnerable individuals, her caseload increasingly includes grandparents’ rights – a ‘new trend’ she’s actively navigating.
