Susan Shuttle

Solicitor

Susan is a qualified Solicitor with over 20 years of experience in the legal profession, specialising in private client work, estate administration, trusts, wills, probate, and legacy management. Susan rejoined the team in 2026 and advises on complex estates, obtaining Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration, inheritance tax matters, and the creation and administration of trusts. Susan also worked in the charity sector, where she was responsible for the administration of charitable legacies, inheritance tax reviews, trustee reporting, Charity Act compliance, and contentious legacy matters.

Her private client expertise is supported by specialist qualifications from STEP and ILM, including certificates in the Administration of Estates, Administration of Trusts, and Administration of Charity Legacies.

Susan is also an experienced legal educator. Since 2009, she has lectured for CILEX teaching subjects including Wills, Succession and Probate Practice, Conveyancing, Land Law, Contract Law, Civil Litigation, Family Law, and Legal Research. She has also delivered professional legal training as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Law, teaching on the Legal Practice Course, Solicitors, Qualifying Exam, Graduate Diploma in Law, and Master's programmes.

As well as her Private Client work, she has previously worked as a solicitor specialising in residential conveyancing. This has given her a greater understanding and knowledge of all matters to do with property and can often be helpful when dealing with estate sales.

Susan’s combination of legal practice, teaching, and specialist knowledge enables her to provide practical, client-focused advice while contributing to the development of the next generation of legal professionals.

Outside of her work, Susan enjoys spending time with her rescue dog, taking him on long walks, and exploring the countryside. An avid animal lover, she is passionate about animal welfare and enjoys developing her culinary skills, particularly by experimenting with new vegan recipes.
