Susannah Quinn

Special Counsel

Sydney

Susannah brings deep understanding and extensive practical experience to her role in Family Law, covering all aspects of relationship issues and their legal implications. This includes financial separation; the best arrangements for children, cohabitation agreements and conflict resolution.

A key focus of Susannah’s practice is that of post-separation and the rearrangement of matters at the end of a marriage. She has worked with professional families that move around the world and is particularly interested in international arrangements for children and the resolution of relocation disputes in an increasingly mobile world.

Susannah’s approach in her client relationships is to help her clients find the best solutions for them following relationship breakdown or when entering a new, committed relationship so they can move forward and transition to the next stage of their lives.
