Supporting your ambitions

With over 30 years’ experience advising clients ranging from business owners to high-profile individuals, Suzanne knows one-size does not fit all. She takes time to understand what clients are looking to achieve. 

As an arbitrator, Suzanne was able to provide a couple with a quick, certain and private resolution to their dispute all with the benefit of a fixed fee. Resolving the same dispute through the courts would have taken years with escalating costs.

Regularly helping clients to implement wealth protection strategies, Suzanne recently co-ordinated advice from five countries to successfully negotiate a pre-nuptial agreement protecting assets worth over £2billion. 

What else should you know?

Regarded as a “pre-eminent force in family law” and consistently top-ranked, Suzanne was voted Spear’s Wealth Management Family Lawyer of the Year in 2015 and Citywealth’s Lawyer of the Year in 2016.

Her passion to help couples find a better way to separate saw Suzanne pioneer the use of arbitration for family disputes.
