Before joining KJK Legal, Suzana was a lawyer on the “other side of the fence” representing plaintiffs. She has practiced in numerous areas of law including workers compensation, CTP, public liability, medical negligence, traffic and basic criminal law.

During her years at university, she was instrumental in setting up the Elizabeth Magistrates Court Outreach Service and co-created a project for primary school students with low literacy levels which aimed to engage them with literacy and numeracy. In more recent times, she has mentored law students, provided them with placement opportunities and guest lectured at university.
