Cassandra is Sutherland’s resident property law and debt recovery star. Having worked in the legal industry for more than 20 years Cassandra is well versed in both areas, especially residential conveyancing and strata law debt recovery and litigation.

While property law and debt recovery are Cassandra’s main practice areas, her knowledge also extends into other areas of law, including wills, probate and deceased estates, commercial litigation and more (we encourage her to leave some work for the rest of us). 

Clients love Cassandra for her open, honest and easy to understand legal advice, and the knowledge that their matter is in safe hands.

Outside of work Cassandra is just as busy as she is practising law. She enjoys being a mum to her four girls, collecting historical books and running with her Border Collie ‘Phoebe’. A love of cooking has also lead to Cassandra becoming a published author of a cookbook ‘more than four’.

If you are in need of property law or debt recovery advice then get in touch with Cassandra by phone or email to arrange a meeting at our Sutherland office.
