Sarah O'Grady
am a Managing Associate in the Firm’s Disputed Wills & Estates team. I specialise in all types of inheritance and trust disputes, with particular expertise in agricultural matters. I largely act for private individuals, whether as executors, beneficiaries or trustees. I also act for professional executors and trustees, including where they have been appointed to deal with a trust or estate that is in dispute. Having practiced exclusively in this area for the past 15 years, I know all too well the emotional toll these disputes generate and I like to work closely with my clients to build a strong relationship and minimise the stress of the dispute as far as possible. It is important to me to take the time to learn about each client’s personal situation and the background that has led up to the dispute. I want to ensure that I understand my clients’ goals from the outset, so that we can decide upon the best way in which to approach the dispute. The majority of my cases settle out of court, however I have experience of taking maters to trial when that becomes necessary.
