We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Sarah Thomsen as a partner and head of the firm’s contentious probate team. Sarah is a registered contentious trust and probate specialist and a full member of the ACTAPS (Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists).

With more than 20 years’ experience advising clients in this complex and sensitive area of law, Sarah is known for her practical and empathetic approach. She works closely with clients to help them resolve disputes with clarity and confidence, ensuring they have the information they need to make informed decisions at every stage.

In addition to her specialist contentious probate practice, Sarah also advises on a broad range of disputes including property and land matters, neighbour and harassment issues, and contract and negligence claims.

Sarah said: – “I pride myself on the use of plain language and providing clear information on costs, so that clients are able to make informed decisions about their options at every stage. These values align with Andrew Jackson’s strong reputation for clear, pragmatic advice and a commitment to building trusted, long-term client relationships. I am very pleased to be joining the firm and I’m looking forward to supporting clients through what are often difficult and sensitive circumstances.”

Nick Dean, partner and head of commercial litigation & dispute resolution at Andrew Jackson Solicitors, added: – “We’re very pleased to welcome Sarah to the firm. With her wealth of experience and specialist expertise in contentious probate, she enhances the depth of service we can offer to clients across the region and beyond. Sarah’s appointment also reflects our continued commitment to investing in talented lawyers, following the recent arrival of Caroline Hardcastle as a partner in our litigation team.”
