Meet the team

Sucheet Amin

Ever since I was young, I always wanted to be a solicitor and help people. I have always worked in personal injury law and find it very rewarding to help people overcome what can be horrific injuries.

I am married to my childhood sweetheart and we have two daughters. Although I was born and raised in South London, I studied at Liverpool University and got my first job in Manchester and have never looked back since.

When I’m not working for my clients or running Aequitas Legal, I spend as much time as I can with my family. In my own time, I regularly play football and go rock climbing.

I joined the team in February 2012 as an office junior, providing support for the rest of the firm. I am thoroughly enjoying the time I have spent here and look forward to growing and developing my skills. When I’m not in work I love to socialise with friends and spending quality time with family. I also have a passion for travelling whether that be within the UK or a long haul destination. In the summer of 2012 I took part in a charity bike ride with members of our team, and from that continue to get out on my bike when time permits both for charity and for fun.
