Suzan Gurpinar

Special Counsel

Suzan was admitted and commenced practicing law in August 2009 and has practised exclusively in family law since August 2010.

She holds a Bachelor of Laws and Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, in addition to a Certificate in Collaborative Practice.

Suzan has significant experience in complex property matter, complex parenting matters (including relocation), child support matters, spousal maintenance matters and intervention order matters.

Suzan is warm and empathetic and is dedicated to helping clients resolve family matters, understanding that this period can be one of the most difficult times in a person’s life.

Suzan however if need be and the matter resorts to litigation is a strong advocate, with a flair for negotiations and drafting court documents.

Outside of work, Suzan enjoys reading, spending time with family and friends and going to the gym, which she says she does not go to nearly enough.

Your first consultation

At your first appointment we will listen to your instructions and provide our legal advice on your rights, entitlements and options for settlement.
You will leave your appointment with a thorough understanding of your options, your costs and what to expect from us.

From then on and throughout our work with you, we will communicate with you regularly.
We will address your questions and concerns promptly, with sound advice and understanding.
We’ll be your voice in troubled times.

If you have received a letter from another lawyer or been served Court documents, you should provide them to us in advance so we can prepare for our appointment with you.
If you are seeing us about property or financial matters, it helps to have a list of your assets, liabilities and superannuation.
If you are seeing us about parenting or grandparenting matters, it helps us to know the names and dates of birth of your children and what their current living arrangements are.
If there are urgent circumstances, for example you suspect your ex-partner will abscond with your children or is taking steps to sell or transfer assets, you should let us know so we can commence acting immediately.
