The lawyers and staff of Cooper Cargill Chant are pleased to announce that Sarah Davidson has joined the firm. Many Valley residents know Sarah from her exceptional work at the Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School and previously at the White Mountain Waldorf School.
What Valley residents likely do not know is that Sarah is an experienced and effective trial lawyer. She started her career as a litigation associate at Wiggin & Nourie in Manchester in 2007. She moved on to four years of litigation practice at the NH Public Defender and then spent three years with the Casinghino law firm in Manchester as a civil litigation attorney.
“We could not be more delighted that Sarah has chosen to join our firm,” said partner Paul Chant. “She has both exceptional leadership skills as well as litigation skills. Everyone I have spoken to regarding Sarah notes both her wonderful character, her incredible commitment to what she does, and her strong appreciation for those she works with. “
Sarah, too, is excited to join Cooper Cargill Chant: “My return to the practice of law marks an exciting next chapter in my career. My time in education was deeply meaningful and reaffirmed my belief that the most rewarding work is rooted in service, thoughtful problem-solving, and advocating for others. I am thrilled to join Cooper Cargill Chant, a firm known for its exceptional advocacy and commitment to its clients and community. I look forward to bringing my litigation experience, strategic perspective, and passion for effective advocacy to the firm while working alongside such a talented team to achieve outstanding results for our clients."
Sarah is the daughter of retired NH Superior Court Judge Kenneth Brown, as well as the granddaughter of legendary NH lawyer Stanley Brown.
“We are very much looking forward to Sarah bringing her skills here,” said Cooper Cargill Chant litigation partner Chris Meier. “Her strong background in a variety of litigation areas will be deeply appreciated. I believe, with Sarah’s arrival, we have the strongest, deepest litigation team in all my years here at CCC.”
Sarah joins a litigation team that is well honored and respected. Just this year Best Lawyers recognized Paul Chant as their Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year for the area of Concord north in New Hampshire. Further, Chris Meier has been recognized by Best Lawyers in both Commercial Litigation and Litigation-Land Use and Zoning. Paul and Chris have also been recognized by SuperLawyers in their practice areas for many years.
