Sandie Chatterton

Sandie has been practising law since 1981, initially serving regional Queensland before relocating to Brisbane with her family in 2005. After gaining experience in the Brisbane CBD, she recognised the value of providing accessible legal services within her own community and established SKC Lawyers in 2012. Throughout her career, Sandie has assisted clients with a broad range of legal matters, including Family Law property settlements and parenting arrangements, Wills and Estates, leasing, business sales and acquisitions, and conveyancing. Her approach is grounded in practical common sense, focusing on resolving matters efficiently and cost-effectively. Sandie advocates for mediation and alternative dispute resolution to address issues before resorting to court proceedings. Nonetheless, she is well-prepared to represent clients through all stages of litigation, including interim hearings, conciliation conferences, and, when necessary, trials, particularly in cases where conflict is significant. She emphasises clear communication with clients to understand their objectives, providing guidance on the most just and reasonable ways to achieve these outcomes within the legal framework. Sandie’s commitment to her clients is reflected in her focus on practical solutions tailored to their individual circumstances.
