Sarah-Jane Dunhill
Solicitor
-
Partner and Head of Civil Litigation
SRA ID: 416013
Sarah-Jane qualified in 2008 and joined the Firm as an Associate in 2016 following ten years with her previous Firm before being promoted to Partner and Head of Department in 2018. During her career, she has undertaken a “mixed bag” of litigation work from simple debt recovery actions to international insurance commercial litigation.
Sarah-Jane is perfectly placed to help commercial and private clients in resolving any disputes they may have. She has a working knowledge of the Court rules and systems as well as dealing directly with Alternative forms of Dispute Resolution, for example Mediations and Expert Determinations.
Sarah-Jane is a commercially realistic lawyer and is aware that disputes and litigation can often be expensive. In seeking to find a swift resolution, Sarah-Jane seeks to keep costs to a minimum and allows clients to concentrate on their businesses and personal lives without seeking to add to the already stressful situation. Whilst robust in her dealings with other parties when necessary, Sarah-Jane takes a gentler approach of taking the time to get to understand her Client’s objectives and seeks to work together to achieve those goals.
However, if litigation is necessary, Sarah-Jane’s skills and knowledge are utilised to give the Client the best outcome available to them, including wherever possible recovering the costs the Clients have expended in legal fees.

Excellent !
We had a phone consultation with Sarah-Jane because we’re in Australia.
We didn’t get the answer that we were hoping for, but everything was explained clearly and with empathy towards our situation. We would definitely recommend to other people!!

Sarah-Jane went above and beyond
Sarah-Jane gave clear advice with various options. She went out of her way to get information for me that she didn't even know at first herself. I am delighted with how Sarah-Jane handled it and couldn't recommend her enough.

Excellent phone consultation
I had an excellent experience with Sarah-Jane, who I contacted to enquire about transferring my solicitor to her firm. She gave me the honest advice that it would be better for me to continue with my current solicitor, but remained on the phone for 40 minutes discussing and assessing what is a complicated set of circumstances. She gave clear and trustworthy advice, was caring but also direct, and is in other words exactly what one would hope for in a solicitor.
