Sarah Rowley
Spear’s Review
‘The diversity of my clients means that no two days are ever the same. I am in a privileged position to see what really works and to share new strategies and practical solutions with my clients,’ says Sarah Rowley, a partner at Charles Russell Speechlys and head of its growing charities and philanthropy practice.
Her team is an integrated part of the firm’s offering to clients. The private wealth lawyers direct clients to her, and vice versa. ‘If they’re a new client that’s come to us for the philanthropy, we can connect them with people if they haven’t already got people to help with that side of things,’ Rowley explains.
Rowley is passionate about ensuring her clients smoothly navigate the complexities of charity law. ‘Charities have to operate in a highly regulated, sometimes counterintuitive way, and this can frustrate those who wish to found and support them,’ she says. ‘My experience of the sector helps HNWs and UHNWs, families, entrepreneurs and forward-thinking businesses to achieve their charitable and philanthropic ambitions.’
