Sara Teasdale

Byrne & Partners

Soon to head into her second year as managing partner at Byrne and Partners, Teasdale is as determined as ever to maintain her flourishing personal practice despite the firm responsibilities that keep her busy.

While accepting that it has been a real challenge to juggle two positions since her 2018 appointment, Teasdale’s decision not to relinquish work from her practice has paid off.

Not only has she retained her reputation as a well-established star in the world of fraud and financial services acting for a number of a high-profile corporate figures, but she has also gained further experience in her high-ranking role at the firm.

Many of Teasdale’s clients are UK-based, although her cases boast an international cross-jurisdictional flavour, particularly as she fights the likes of the US Department of Justice and the Brazilian regulator.

Over the next 12 months, Teasdale’s tussles with enforcement agencies will continue, with work linked to investigations from the Serious Fraud Office and the Financial Conduct Authority also set to keep her busy.
