What can I do for you

As a highly experienced family lawyer, Suzanne supports clients facing complex financial issues and children arrangements following separation as well as advising on pre-nuptial agreements. Many of her cases involve substantial assets and have an international element.

Committed to helping clients find solutions in the way that best suits them, Suzanne is a qualified collaborative practitioner, mediator and arbitrator.

What do others say

"Suzanne Kingston is the best person in family law, hands down. An excellent lawyer, she also arbitrates and within the mediation field has an ability to support clients through an emotive process to reach a resolution." - Legal 500

"Suzanne Kingston is hugely experienced in mediation and arbitration. A good choice for a high-net-worth mediation, particularly using the hybrid model." - Legal 500

 

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.
