Regulatory Process Design
Sarah joined Kingsley Napley in 2010 from the Criminal Bar, having had a broad and varied criminal practise. After gaining a further 10 years’ experience investigating and presenting high profile and complex fitness to practise cases before a wealth of regulatory bodies, Sarah’s attentions then began to focus on harnessing her legal expertise to assist regulators in a more holistic review of their legal processes, policies, and systems. Sarah works closely with regulators in a number of sectors to design and implement regulatory frameworks that meet their needs. Her work involves helping established regulators to identify where things are being done well, and where improvements can be made as well as guiding start-up regulators to implement best practice from the outset of operations.
A Black Belt in the Lean Six Sigma methodology, Sarah’s unique ability to combine legal advice and process review has been called upon by a number of the firm’s clients.
