Suzanne Todd

Spear's Review

One top KC describes Suzanne Todd as ‘absolutely superb in what she does’ and an ‘incredible performer’. As well as being head of divorce and family, Todd leads Withers’ family and trust, estate and inheritance dispute teams in London — a position that the KC says instils confidence: ‘Usually a good test is to see who is appointed to run the department.’

Despite not ‘[talking] about the good work that she does compared to many others’, Todd has credentials. Her practice is multi-jurisdictional, and she has a particular connection with Italy. More than 60 per cent of her cases have an Italian nexus, thanks to a high degree of referral from satisfied clients. ‘Even better referral sources are the other side of old clients,’ she says.

Todd is also the legal firm's European co-head of dispute resolution.
