Leah Sharman

My Approach

I strive to provide comprehensive and clear advice to clients. I understand that litigation can be time consuming and stressful, and therefore look to provide well thought through and pragmatic solutions for clients.

I appreciate the benefit of resolving matters at an early stage for clients wherever possible, but understand that this is not always appropriate or achievable. I strive to reach the best outcome possible for clients, in an efficient manner, and by providing high-quality service in the process of doing so.
