Sarah E. Whitfield, Partner, Real Estate, Precedent LLP

Sarah E. Whitfield

Partner, Real Estate

The youngest partner in the firm's history

Sarah Whitfield acts for owners, developers, and family holdings in the acquisition, financing, and development of significant property — and in the disputes that attend land worth fighting over. The Whitfield Wharf entitlement carries her family's name; she grew up on that waterfront and now acts for it.

She reads title the way the litigators read a record: completely. She has never lost a client's.
