Sarah Woon, Legal Counsel, Slater and Gordon Lawyers
Sarah Woon is a Legal Counsel in the Asbestos and Dust Diseases Team at Slater & Gordon. Day to day She represent clients suffering from asbestos related conditions such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. Exposure to asbestos can occur in a variety of scenarios, so her role is to help clients piece together their exposure history and guide them through what can often be a daunting process.

She is motivated to protect and advise her clients and tailor their approach according to their specific needs.
