Sarah Higgins
Spear’s Review
Sarah Higgins has more than 30 years of family law experience, focusing on financial applications – often with international elements and involving trusts – and complex children cases, including those involving allegations of drug or alcohol abuse.
Higgins, who is also a trained mediator, receives high praise from clients and Charles Russell Speechlys colleagues alike, with observers noting that she is ‘very strong technically’ and ‘very impressive’. Another adds: ‘She knows exactly what she’s talking about.’
Clients are ‘a range of married, unmarried, parents, grandparents, trustees ... old money or new money’, says Higgins, who also notes an increase in international work since she started at the firm in 1990.
