Sara M. PeeleSenior Attorney
Sara Peele focuses her practice on the defense of insurance companies, self-
insured corporations and businesses in a wide variety of civil litigation, including
first-party auto No-Fault (PIP), third-party auto negligence, insurance coverage
disputes, Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP) Servicing Insurer Defense, and
MACP Servicing Insurer Subrogation.

Her prior experience includes working on a massive oil spill class action which
included wrongful death, personal injury, negligence, toxic tort claims, and
maritime law. She was also a law clerk at an international law firm where she
worked on guardianship cases, tax law, property law, and a Brazilian corporate
dissolution.

While a student-attorney at the Human Rights Clinic at the University of Miami,
she helped develop a White Paper providing an international human rights
framework for women’s economic rights in preparation for a judicial colloquium
targeting Eastern and Southern African states. Her team identified regional
judges and judicial practices that advanced women’s access to land, property, and employment.
