Emma was awarded AvMA Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel accreditation in 2019.
She also appears as a recommended lawyer by The Legal 500 in its 2020 directory and recognised in the 2020 edition of Chambers UK.
Sarah qualified in 1989 and joined Lanyon Bowdler in 2017. She has spent over 25 years working in Herefordshire specialising in both commercial and agricultural property work.
She acts for a number of local commercial landlords and is also involved in the sale and purchase of development land for landowners and developers.
