Shannen Sinclair

Senior Associate Solicitor

As a litigation and dispute resolution solicitor, Shannen specialises in achieving positive outcomes in civil disputes – whether that’s resolving complex probate and Inheritance Act claims, freeholder and leaseholder issues, or property disputes. With a solid commercial and litigation background, she handles a wide range of matters, from individual contract disputes to family estates and business partnership issues.

Before moving into general litigation, Shannen worked as a specialist personal injury solicitor, handling complex claims involving fractures, brain and spinal injuries, permanent scarring, and other life-changing conditions. She built a strong track record of achieving positive outcomes for clients in often challenging circumstances. While her current practice is broader, she continues to take on personal injury matters where appropriate.

Shannen prides herself on being meticulously prepared for every case. Her approach is proactive, focusing on identifying potential risks early, mitigating surprises, and developing clear plans to ensure her clients are fully informed and confident in their positions.
