Sukainah regularly advises on challenging and high-stakes legal matters. Some of her recent work includes:
Challenging Jurisdiction and Overseas Divorce: In a recent case, Sukainah represented a client whose overseas divorce was disregarded by their spouse, who sought to pursue a separate divorce and financial application in the UK. Sukainah challenged jurisdiction, guided the court on correct procedure, and coordinated a joint expert opinion, which confirmed the overseas divorce was valid. The UK proceedings were dismissed, protecting her client from unnecessary litigation.
High Net Worth Financial Disputes: She has acted in cases involving substantial assets and historical financial orders. In one unusual matter involving two concurrent UK marriages, Sukainah successfully argued that the second marriage and associated financial order were invalid. The court agreed, and the case was resolved based on the first marriage, securing a fair and legally sound outcome.
Children’s Matters: Sukainah has acted in a wide range of children’s proceedings, including disputes involving covert recordings, parental alienation, special measures for neurodivergent clients, and applications to vary existing orders. Her work in these areas reflects her commitment to safeguarding children’s welfare while ensuring her clients’ voices are heard.
Outside of her practice, Sukainah actively supports several charitable organisations, with a particular focus on child welfare. She offers pro bono legal assistance to charities working with orphaned children and vulnerable families.
