Sara qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2004. Her career began at a practice in East Lancashire where she remained for 15 years before leaving to take up a role which gave her the opportunity to become the sole family lawyer in that practice and which started her love of working in Lancaster. After nearly three years at another local firm, Sara joined Holdens Law in June 2025.
Sara is based at our Lancaster office but is able to see Clients at our Kendal office, and she deals with all areas of private family law; predominantly divorce and financial settlement, cohabitation disputes etc and also children proceedings.
Born and raised in the Ribble Valley, Sara studied at what was then Blackburn College. Not initially having any plans to study law, Sara gained an interest through a secretarial role and subsequently commenced the CILEx qualification. She is a big supporter of the CILEx route into law which led to her co-founding the former Lancashire Branch of CILEx.
In her spare time, Sara enjoys coastal and country walks, holidays and short breaks with her Husband, catching up with family and friends and cooking.
