Sarah Harper is currently tasked with the day-to-day management of all aspects of HR within the practice, and its operational strategy. Her focus is both on the firm’s progression as a market leader, and to enhance working systems given Neumans’ expansion. Her role also encompasses business development, drawing on a unique insight into strategic marketing and implementation. With an ever expanding client-base, Sarah’s role also involves the constant monitoring and development of the firm’s resources to ensure key components of its operational structures continue to meet the demands of both personnel and clients. She has crucial qualities which compliment and continue to fortify the firm’s ethos and integrity. Sarah is committed to tackling head-on the challenges of a fast-paced and varied environment through utilisation of efficient yet innovative, cutting-edge working practices, thus allowing our lawyers to focus on providing the highest quality of service in the most cost-sensitive manner.
Sarah worked previously at one of the UK’s leading architectural visualisation companies, where she developed their HR department and worked on improving personnel development and recruitment processes.
Sarah studied at University College London gaining a Masters Degree in Chemistry and then a Doctorate in Physical Chemistry. During her PhD she specialised in the study of doubly charged ions which are proposed to play a part in the chemistry of interstellar clouds and planetary ionospheres, commissioning a new experiment that successfully revealed, for the first time, the detailed mechanisms of several bond-forming reactions. In the course of her studies at UCL, her results were published in a number of leading chemical and physical journals, being the first-name author on five publications. She also presented her findings to attendees at two international scientific conferences.
She has spent her spare time travelling the world – including spending 5 months in South America where she was mugged, learnt Spanish and experienced the diversity of the continent from trekking on glaciers to relaxing in thermal pools under the stars.
She often attends classical concerts and rock gigs and is a violinist in two amateur orchestras.
