Sara Fowler
As an expert in forensic services, I specialise in working with clients to develop strategies for dispute management involving negotiated settlements, mediations and arbitration. My primary area of specialism is advising on financial and commercial issues in relation to compensation claims arising on extinguishment and/or relocation. In that regard I have acted as an expert witness in claims for compulsory purchase over a period of 20 years and have given evidence in court proceedings including what is now the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), most notably as the accounting expert for the claimant in the Optical Express case.
I am also the chair of St Basils, a Birmingham based charity that acts to prevent youth homelessness and was the chair of the CBI in the West Midlands for 2015 to 2017.
