About the Business
Welcome to Clear Water Legal, a leading institution offering legal services and mediation in Newport, New South Wales. Our practice, led by Sarah-Siobhan Clarke, a highly experienced solicitor, specializes in criminal law, family law, and civil law.
Sarah's legal journey began in the United Kingdom, where she graduated with an LLB (Hons) and attended Law School in London. She further honed her skills by undertaking the barristers vocational course as a member of the Inner Temple. Sarah practiced as a barrister in Chester, Cheshire, before qualifying as a legal practitioner in NSW in 1997.
With her expertise recognized, Sarah was appointed as a Deputy District Judge (Civil division) in the UK in 2005 and granted authority by the Family Division of the High Court to sit as a part-time Judge in family law matters in 2010. She is also a qualified mediator in both the UK and Australia.
At Clear Water Legal, we pride ourselves on utilizing a blended process of mediation, which has proven to be highly effective. Sarah is a fully Accredited National Mediator, a member of the Resolution Institute, and a member of the Law Society of NSW Panel of Accredited Mediators. She is also affiliated with The Australian Institute of Family Law Arbitrators and Mediators. Additionally, our team is fully trained in the collaborative law process, with Sarah being a member of Collaborative Professionals (NSW) Inc.
Our mediation process is safe, controlled, revealing, and reflective. It not only leads to agreements but also allows the parties involved to maintain positive relationships post-mediation. Furthermore, it is often a faster and more cost-effective means of reaching resolution compared to litigation, while also being less confrontational. Our expertise in mediation extends to various areas, including Family Provision Act claims against deceased estates, general family law matters, and civil disputes.
As a specialized legal practice, we focus mainly on family law and civil matters. However, we are fully capable of litigating rigorously when necessary. Sarah also works as a Family Consultant for Rockliff Lawyers, where she handles most of the aforementioned work.
At Clear Water Legal, we understand that our clients may be located overseas or working abroad. Therefore, we are equipped to facilitate mediations or take instructions via Skype, while always applying Australian law and principles. In certain circumstances, we can also apply UK legal principles, as Sarah is dual qualified in both jurisdictions.
If you meet the criteria, Sarah Clarke is on the indictable criminal law panel of Legal Aid NSW and can assist you in applying for a grant.
