Sarah Hoskinson

Spear’s Review

‘I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be a lawyer if I wasn’t a family lawyer,’ muses Sarah Hoskinson, who was made a partner at Burges Salmon in 2012 and has since built a stellar practice in London and Bristol around high-value and complex divorces. ‘Family law is all about people, and it’s that human element rather than the black letter of the law that gives it the edge.’ 

Despite her focus on the human side, Hoskinson is extremely well versed in the intricacies of those ‘black letters’, especially when it comes to pensions and international divorces.

Head of the family and divorce team at the firm, she sits on Resolution’s pensions, tax and financial remedies committee and gives regular lectures at the International Academy of Family Lawyers, of which she is a fellow and co-chair of the pensions committee.
