Sarah Boland

I am a partner and General Counsel based in the London office.

I have over 20 years' experience as a disputes and investigations lawyer involved in a range of commercial disputes spanning employment, partnership, professional indemnity matters and matters focused on the energy and TMT sectors.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I made the move to a full-time in house role and was Global Deputy General Counsel at another international law firm.

As General Counsel, I provide legal and regulatory counsel to the firm's leadership, partners and staff and am responsible for overseeing our governance and our approach to risk and compliance.
