Leah Sharman is an Associate Solicitor specialising in banking and finance litigation and complex financial disputes, including mis‑selling claims, gambling disputes, cryptocurrency matters, and Financial Ombudsman complaints. Qualified in 2024, Leah supports clients with clear, pragmatic and solution‑focused advice, aiming to resolve disputes efficiently while delivering a high‑quality and supportive litigation service.
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.
