Susan Whitehead Alexander

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

With over four decades of legal expertise, Susan Alexander is a distinguished solicitor specialising in family law, collaborative law, and mediation. Susan joined MSB in 2024 from another Chester based family team, but her career in law actually started further afield in Scotland. Admitted as a solicitor in Scotland in 1981, Susan quickly established herself as a formidable advocate, gaining the nickname “Queen of the Ordinary Court”. Susan rapidly advanced and swiftly became a full equity partner at Russells, where she led the firm’s family law practice, representing high-profile clients and earning a stellar reputation in the field. A founding member of the Family Law Association in Scotland, Susan’s influence extends beyond her practice. She was appointed by the Sheriff Principal in several critical roles, including ‘curator ad litem’ and ‘safeguarder,’ advocating for children and those lacking capacity in court proceedings. Her work in family law is both comprehensive and compassionate, encompassing everything from complex divorce and financial remedy cases to child abduction, surrogacy, and human rights issues.

Amazing solicitor. Fantastic company.

I cannot recommend Susan Alexander highly enough! Absolute fantastic solicitor. She handled my case with complete professionalism, care and efficiency. I felt supported the whole way through and thanks to her it all went smoothly. From start to finish she guided me through the process, explaining everything thoroughly and was always approachable, responsive and genuinely caring. Also, her assistant Daisy cannot forget about her she was fantastic too and a big thank you to her also for all the help, guidance and support throughout the process. Would not have been possible without you both, appreciate everything.

Susan Alexander & Team (Daisy) Excellent to work with!

Having been recommended Susan Alexander it was definitely worth it. Knowing Susan and Daisy were there to help me with my divorce was a massive weight off the shoulders through the process. They understood any concerns and problems and dealt with them quickly as well as any emails/phone calls, I would definitely recommend them.
