Sarah Wright
Principal & Managing Director
My clients know me as approachable, attentive and considerate. I focus on building mutual trust which is paramount when discussing sensitive and personal information for legal matters.
My areas of interest include agriculture and commercial considerations for the current and next farming generation. I have a strong connection with farming having married a fourth generation grain and sheep producer. What farming has taught me is integral to my ability to be a good lawyer so much so, that Narpyn Law is named after my husband’s family farm in Mt Barker.
I enjoy helping clients with estates, wills, property farm leases and farm documentation as well as breaking down the barriers of what a lawyer can be and can offer. It’s not just about giving advice at a level that makes it easy to understand, our role is also to help educate clients in regard to their commercial understanding.
I graduated from Law at the University of Southampton, 2002 and grew up in Cannock, Staffordshire.
In my spare time, I love having fun with my family, cooking, photography, and walking. I like to help local clubs and am the bookkeeper for my husband’s family farm.
