Sara assists clients in identifying, navigating and responding to environmental risks and liabilities. She represents and defends clients in environmental litigation and regulatory enforcement matters, including those arising under the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, CERCLA, RCRA, FIFRA, and their state law counterparts.

As part of her environmental practice, Sara also helps clients to investigate, understand, and assess potential environmental risks and concerns in real estate and other transactional matters, including obtaining and interpreting Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and modifying and transferring environmental permits. She also has experience in responding to EPA information requests, navigating endangered species and wetlands related issues, (e.g., National Environment Policy Act compliance and Section 404 permitting), and advising clients on ESG related issues. Sara's goal is to help clients better understand their environmental responsibilities and achieve their environmental goals.

Since joining Thompson Coburn, Sara has also successfully represented and defended clients in a wide variety of common law tort, products liability and general business litigation matters.
