Business Practice & Transactions
Sarah M. Caldwell
State Bar of Texas
Sarah Caldwell joined the firm after several years at a large Dallas firm, where she focused on mergers, acquisitions, and complex commercial transactions. She brought that transactional depth to Lippe & Associates, where she now serves as the firm's lead business practice attorney.
Sarah's clients value her ability to translate complex legal structures into plain business terms. She is a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs and established companies alike — the kind of attorney who is as comfortable in a board room as she is in a negotiation.
