About Sarah

Sarah is a Partner and Head of the Residential Property department at Dutton Gregory.

Sarah joined the firm at the start of 2018 and specialises in residential property / conveyancing, including having an expert knowledge of shared ownership properties.

A Successful Day

Sarah genuinely cares about both her team and our clients, so receiving positive feedback from clients and introducers that demonstrates our excellent level of client care, really makes her day.

This is especially important to Sarah, given our expertise helps people achieve their property goals, whatever they may be.

Rewarding Elements

Sarah’s role involves developing and growing her team so supporting people to achieve their personal goals is both vitally important and rewarding for Sarah.

Whether this is helping someone to develop their knowledge to achieve professional qualifications or though supporting someone to progress their career into a new role within the firm, Sarah gains great personal satisfaction from helping people reach their potential.

Sarah also gains fulfilment from supporting people to juggle family life and work commitments, and achieve a positive work / life balance – as a mother of teenage twins who has forged a successful career for herself, Sarah is an example of how you can have it all.

Why Dutton Gregory?

Since joining the firm, Sarah has progressed from Solicitor, to Associate, to Senior Associate and then to Partner.

Reflecting on this, Sarah says: “I have been supported by the firm throughout my time at Dutton Gregory, from the trust involved in allowing flexible working to recognition of your achievements, being able to rely on colleagues for support and knowing that your thoughts and ideas are listened to.”

Outside Of The Law

Sarah likes to relax with anything from Agatha Christie: “The characters are engaging, the settings are fantastic and I never manage to predict the plot twists.”

Our move was more complex than we thought it would be but Sarah kept us informed every step of the way and even took our files home with her over the Christmas/New Year period in case anything needed to be done. She also made sure that we had second points of contact for when she was out of the office and gave us notice of when she was not going to be available.

Compared to every other conveyancing experience I have had (and compared to the rest of our chain this time) Sarah's service was head and shoulders above.

I didn't know that conveyancing could be done with such client care and attention.

Sarah hugely reduced our stress and was so responsive.

Sarah Sams and her legal team ROCK!!

Sarah was a real hero when our sale and purchase was completed at very short notice at the end of the week.

This was partly due to the other solicitor’s constant delays and also as my wife had urgent medical needs the following week.

Sarah pulled the deals together at extremely short notice, while correctly and honestly explaining that there was no guarantee, and she was in touch with us throughout.

It all came together, and we are extremely grateful as the following week was very tough one for my wife and I.

In the office, Abongile was always helpful and warm when we called for updates, and Molly too on the few occasions we spoke.
