She regularly appears as a solicitor advocate in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, the Federal Court of Australia and the Administrative Review Tribunal. Sarah is an Accredited Immigration Law Specialist and has deep expertise acting on behalf of government clients across immigration, disability, child support and freedom of information matters.

Ian Denham, National Managing Partner said “Sarah has a track record advising Commonwealth clients on high‑stakes litigation and review matters. Her appointment further strengthens our government capability nationally.”

Sarah Thompson said “I’m excited to join Moray & Agnew’s highly regarded government practice and look forward to further building the firm’s government practice. The firm’s national platform and growing depth across administrative law will allow me to deliver even greater value services to public sector clients.”
