More on Sarah E. Holmes
Sarah Holmes, Esq., Managing Attorney - Business & Intellectual Property
Sarah spent six years defending personal injury cases as a litigator in Pennsylvania and New Jersey state and federal courts. Her clients were large corporations, big box stores, and business owners who found themselves on the receiving end of a lawsuit.
Coming from a family of long-time midwestern corporate workers, Sarah always dreamed of shaping her own destiny as a business owner. She started her first business in her kitchen nine years ago and within a year and a half her products were sold in close to 100 stores across the country. She managed to accomplish that while still working full time in a law firm and with a new baby at home.
Her business ownership experiences allowed her to meet scores of other business owners who started asking her for legal advice. It was those entrepreneurs that inspired her to start her own law practice dedicated to independent business owners. She saw a clear need in the market for a business lawyer that was down to earth, approachable and actually experienced in owning and running a business. She launched Philadelphia Small Business Lawyer LLC (now Holmes Business Law, PC) in 2013.
Fun human facts: Sarah gladly traded her nearly two decades of city living for a house, yard and parking (!) in the suburbs a few years ago. She loves dogs and has a golden retriever and a mini Bernedoodle. Her beloved pug passed away in 2020. Her favorite food is pizza and she leaves cooking to the experts.
Sarah is also a proud graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program and Holmes Business Law, P.C. was a Philadelphia100 awardee for 2019, an award given to the 100 fastest-growing businesses in the region.
