About Us
Experienced Legal Counsel, Built on Trust and Relationships
Our Story
For over two decades, Sarah Scofield has advised families, individuals, and closely held businesses through some of life’s most monumental legal moments—from estate planning and business succession to real estate and multigenerational leadership transitions. She founded Scofield Law in 2009 to offer something different: high-level legal counsel delivered with the personal connection, long-term perspective, and emotional intelligence that many clients find missing in traditional legal environments.
​
Clients come to us not only for our legal expertise, but for our steady presence in the room when it matters most. Our practice is built on a belief that legal strategy must reflect the real people behind it—and that trust is earned over time. ​
A Relationship-Driven Approach
We work with a select number of clients each year, often serving them across multiple chapters of life. Our practice is intentionally designed to foster deep relationships, allowing us to understand the nuances of each client’s goals, values, and decision-making process.
​
Collaboration is central to our approach. We frequently work alongside family offices, accountants, trustees, and wealth advisors to ensure seamless integration of legal counsel into a client’s broader strategy. Our counsel is thoughtful, proactive, and attuned to the needs of all involved.
Experience You Can Rely On
Sarah has practiced law for over 20 years. She is also the founder of Open Field Consulting, a distinct advisory firm focused on facilitating meaningful dialogue within families around legacy, leadership, and planning.
In every engagement, we bring clarity, compassion, and a deep understanding of both legal structure and human complexity.
