Susannah’s practice focuses on commercial disputes in areas including fraud, banking, commodities, energy, insurance and shipping. She has considerable experience in substantial, multi-party, multi-jurisdictional litigation and is particularly noted for her ability to get on top of very complex legal and factual issues in very short order.

Almost all of Susannah’s work has a substantial international element, concerning parties from across the world and frequently involving litigation in other fora and other countries which raise complex jurisdictional and conflict of laws issues.

Susannah has acted as counsel (alone and as part of a team) in cases before the English Courts and in many arbitrations seated in London and overseas. Most recently, Susannah, led by Philip Edey QC, acted for policyholder interveners at first instance in the landmark business interruption insurance test case brought by the FCA. Susannah was sole counsel in reply on behalf of the successful RSA 4 policyholders.

Susannah also accepts appointments as arbitrator, with particular experience as an ICC, LMAA and LCIA arbitrator.

She is ranked in the leading directories for commercial litigation, commodities and shipping.
