Company client in Employment Case
“The brilliant team are extremely accessible and dependable.”
“I am so thankful to have had Suzanne fighting my corner. Her extensive experience in the multidisciplinary nature of discrimination claims meant that everything was handled smoothly and flawlessly. She knew exactly how the civil, criminal, media and regulatory aspects intertwined and was able to advise on each, and all together - usually you need a room full of lawyers for that! Being a top-notch lawyer is more than just knowing the law. It’s about strategy, interaction with clients, interaction with the other side, knowing procedure, media sensitivity... it’s endless. Suzanne does all of that and more, with flair. She is unbelievably resilient and nothing surprises her. She has a wicked sense of humour, a razor sharp ability to see through anyone and is never afraid to tell you how it is.
Her brilliant team are extremely accessible and dependable; they are a credit to Suzanne and the firm. She didn’t see my litigation as just winning or losing; but looked at how she could best get me what I needed. Working with her meant I was able to secure a settlement figure worth more than ten times the amount I could have been awarded in a court room, all whilst keeping my anonymity. That is better than the BEST win for me! I had spoken to a few lawyers before finding Suzanne, but my gut just knew that she was the right one. She is one of the rare radicals fighting for the people who need fighting for and has, without a doubt, changed my future. I am so lucky to have met her. Chances are you didn’t choose to need representation, but you can now choose who you have on your side. There is no one better or more fearless than Suzanne.”

“Having spent a period of time in litigation before meeting Suzanne McKie KC, I knew from the minute I met her I was in safe hands.”
"She guided me through my case with such precision, passion and empathy I would have been lost without her. Her ability to get to the details that were needed to win the case and remove the flannel was remarkable, her determination and direction throughout the whole process was second to none. She displayed huge gravitas during court hearings and trial and did not miss a beat when it came to legal argument and cross examination. Because of Suzanne I was able to get my life back and to feel the justice bell ring out loud. No one could or would fight harder for you, she is totally and utterly a legal woman of substance."
