Suzie Sneddon (nee Leuschke)
BCom, LLB
Base Law was established in 2019 by Suzie, a mother of two young children who desired being able to continue with her career and passion for helping clients while also having the time and energy to be a great mother.
Having started her legal career as a commercial solicitor with Simpson Grierson in 2003, owned and managed a corporate health and fitness facility, and worked in both recruitment and legal technology industries, Suzie has a broad background of experience and skills to offer both her clients and other Base Lawyers.
It was Suzie’s desire to help others, which led her to focus on assisting clients with their personal matters including wills, enduring powers of attorney, trusts, asset planning, conveyancing, relationship property matters, entrance into retirement village living and obtaining funding for rest home care.
Now specialised in these areas of law, Suzie has a wealth of practical experience to share with both her clients and other Base Lawyers. Suzie's holistic, pragmatic and caring approach ensures you are well looked after. If you like the thought of working with someone who really cares and takes the time to get to know you and your individual and family circumstances, please contact Suzie.

She was patient and thorough while reviewing our parents’ affairs, setting up wills and enduring powers of attorney. She explained complicated jargon into understandable language providing sound advice which we acted upon. Suzie treated us as part of her family and we’re very happy to recommend her to anyone needing caring legal services."
