Her specialism is voluntary compensation/redress schemes, which has come about due to her role as the sole solicitor to the Irish Redress Board since 2003 where she has overseen the completion of 16,650 applications and redress of GBP 953 million being paid out by the Irish State.

Prior to commencing practice in the UK in 2016 Sharon had extensive experience in litigation in Ireland, mainly in the High Court in the defence personal injury claims. Her expertise included matters of motor liability, employers' liability and public liability.
