Sarah Williams
Spear's Review
Previously in-house counsel for a US firm, Sarah Williams joined Payne Hicks Beach in 2020 as head of the firm’s surrogacy, adoption, fertility and modern family law practice. She also operates a busy Court of Protection practice within the firm, focused on health and welfare disputes concerning vulnerable and incapacitated adults.
‘Her encyclopaedic knowledge of the law relating to surrogacy and her contacts both domestically and internationally make her the “go to” in this area of work,’ says one QC. ‘She was utterly brilliant in a recent and very complex international surrogacy case, leaving no stone unturned in getting the best result for her client.’
Williams is a 2021 guest lecturer on Law and Ethics at King’s College London (Medical School) and also at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (Medical Foundation Programme). She frequently writes for academic law journals and contributes to the general press including the Times and the Financial Times.
