Sarah Shaw

Sarah founded SCT Legal Associates after fifteen years advising high-growth companies through financings, acquisitions, and exits. She leads the firm's corporate practice and is the partner most clients call first when a deal turns complicated.

Her work sits at the point where legal risk meets commercial reality: what the exposure actually is, what it would cost to fix, and whether fixing it now is worth delaying the deal. Founders and boards keep her on speed dial because she gives a view rather than a list of options.

Before founding the firm she was a senior associate in the corporate group of a national practice, where she ran buy-side and sell-side transactions across technology, manufacturing, and professional services. That grounding shows in how she prepares a business for sale — long before a buyer is in the room.
