Sue is a Member of the Law Sociaty's Children Panel, the professional benchmark for solicitors who have expertise in public law proceedings when local authorities issue applications in respect of the child/children who may be at risk. Sue also interviews candidates for the Panel.

Recently Sue qualified as a Collaborative Lawyer (along with Elizabeth Taylor) which is an alternative way of resolving issues arising in separation or divorce through a series of meetings with the former partner and his/her solicitor without recourse to court proceedings.

Both Sue and Elizabeth are members of Resolution (formerly The Solicitors Family Lawyers Association) that has a Code of Conduct providing a framework for the manner in which solicitors should behave to ensure that the parties can be assured that their representation will be dealt with fairly whilst encouraging the parties to maintain respect for each other throughtout the process which can be emotionally difficult.

When not working, Sue enjoys eating at good restaurants, music, reading and fashion.
