Sarah focuses on real estate law, primarily in the renewable energy sector.

Prior to pursuing a legal career, Sarah earned a master’s degree in Energy and Earth Resources and worked as a carbon capture and sequestration researcher, which required extensive knowledge on all forms of energy. This technical background allows her to approach issues from both a legal and scientific perspective, especially in the area of carbon capture. In fact, her decision to attend law school was driven partly by her observations during her time as a geoscientist that there was a great need for legal professionals with technical and scientific backgrounds in energy.

As a law student, Sarah took every energy law class available and served as the Recent Developments Editor for the Texas Journal of Oil, Gas, and Energy Law. She also discovered a fascination with property and worked with a property/energy professor during her first summer, further solidifying her interest in the renewables sector. Sarah also spent a summer as a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, working primarily on energy-related topics with the Real Estate & Development and Energy Regulatory teams.

Known for her research capabilities and technical background, Sarah is highly knowledgeable and efficient. Her unique blend of legal and scientific experience makes her a valuable asset in the field of energy law.

CCUS involves capturing carbon oxides, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), for permanent storage or potential utilization. Interest in CCUS increased after the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) revamped Section 45Q of the US Tax Code to expand tax
