Frequently Asked Questions

About Susanne White Private Client Solicitor

I have been practising as a Solicitor for over 25 years. Prior to setting up my own consultancy business in April 2023, I spent 20 years in private practice at a leading law firm in Colchester. I am an accredited member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers, and a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and Equity Release Council

What is a Consultant Solicitor?

A Consultant Solicitor is a fully qualified solicitor who works independently on a self-employed basis while being attached to a regulated law firm.

How are you as a Consultant Solicitor different from a High Street firm?

As a Consultant Solicitor, you deal directly with me from start to finish. No reception barriers, no passing between departments, no delays. All appointments are conducted in the comfort of your home at a time convenient to you.

Are you regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

Yes, as a Consultant Private Client Solicitor, I work under the regulated law firm Setfords, a UK top 100 Law Firm which is authorised and overseen by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) just like solicitors in traditional High Street firms.  

This means: 

  • You benefit from full professional indemnity insurance
  • Your funds are protected through strict client account rules 
  • You receive the same standards of confidentiality, ethics and professionalism 
  • All work is carried out in line with the SRA Code of Conduct.
Do you offer home visits?

Yes, I offer home visits across Colchester and surrounding areas. Many of my clients prefer to discuss their case in the comfort of their own home. There is no need to drive into town, pay for parking or take time off work. I can visit you at your home at a time that is convenient for you.

Do you offer online appointments?

Whilst my preference is in person meetings, I am also happy to offer appointments online using Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp Video Calling or FaceTime.
