Sarah Rhaiti

Qualified UK and Gibraltar solicitor with over 10 years' experience in employment legal practice, including providing independent legal advice to employees entering into settlement agreements, as well as other areas of law such as matrimonial, private client and civil litigation. In total, I have accrued more than 25 years' experience working in law firms, including in London and East Anglia. I am skilled at explaining the legal and tax implications of entering into settlement agreements and providing the necessary adviser certification, often within tight deadlines and at short notice.

I am comfortable working independently and remotely. I have excellent IT skills including Microsoft Office and legal research databases.
