Suzanne Paolini

Suzanne Paolini is the founding Principal Lawyer of Aberdeen Lawyers, established 12 years ago with a focus on making legal processes accessible and clear for clients. Frustrated by the overly formal and confusing approach often found in legal services, Suzanne set out to create a practice where clients feel informed and actively involved in their matters. With expertise in de facto and family law, Suzanne manages parenting and property matters with particular skill. Her background in accountancy, finance, and tax law from her combined commerce and law degree enhances her capability in handling complex property issues. Suzanne’s career path is distinctive; she transitioned from running a national fashion business to the legal profession midlife. Her extensive experience negotiating and engaging with diverse people in a high-pressure industry has honed her strong instincts and ability to identify and overcome obstacles efficiently and creatively. Her approach to legal matters is often unconventional, striving to demystify the legal system and empower clients throughout their proceedings. Suzanne is known for her tenacity as a negotiator, her thorough investigative approach, and a commitment to exploring every avenue to secure the best outcomes. Clients appreciate Suzanne’s compassion, organisation, and responsiveness, qualities she fosters within the team she has assembled at Aberdeen Lawyers. Beyond her professional life, Suzanne enjoys organic gardening, cooking, rugged camping, exploring the outdoors, and travelling to less conventional destinations.
