About Sara
Sara Shikhman earned her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She attended the same institution for advanced legal study, completing the formal training that led to her admission to the New York bar. Her academic background placed her in one of the country's longer-standing law programs, where she developed the analytical tools necessary for practice.
After law school, Shikhman entered private practice in New York. Public records list her as admitted to practice in New York, and she now works at Lengea Law. Her path from graduation to her current office reflects a move into the state’s legal community rather than into federal or multi-jurisdictional practice. That choice has shaped how she approaches matters and how she serves clients.
Colleagues describe Shikhman as methodical in her approach to legal problems. She favors careful case preparation and attention to procedural detail. She has handled matters that require steady management of filings, client communication, and courtroom readiness. Those routine tasks are the backbone of much of her daily work.
Outside the courtroom, Shikhman spends time on case strategy and client counseling. She aims to give clients clear explanations of legal options and deadlines. Her work requires translating complex statutory and regulatory requirements into practical steps a client can follow. She is known for clear memos and well-organized case files.
Clients and co-counsel can expect direct communication. Shikhman keeps messages concise and prioritizes the questions that affect outcomes. She also values thorough factual investigation early in a matter, because the facts often determine which legal avenues are available and which are not.
Her career to date has remained centered in New York, and she maintains active ties to the state’s legal networks. At Lengea Law she collaborates with other attorneys on multi-faceted matters and handles solo assignments where appropriate. Her peers note that she is attentive to court rules and local practice customs, which can make a practical difference in litigation and transactional timelines.
She currently practices at Lengea Law, concentrating on matters arising under New York law.
