About Suzanne
Suzanne Durrell has been a member of the Massachusetts State Bar since 1978. That long span on the rolls signals a career that began in an earlier legal era and has continued into the present. Over decades, she has maintained an active presence in the state's legal community.
Her entry into practice in Massachusetts came at a time of change in the law. The late 1970s and early 1980s saw shifts in federal enforcement and corporate regulation, and those developments shaped opportunities for lawyers across the state. Durrell's early years at the bar gave her practical exposure to litigation and regulatory matters as they evolved.
Across her career she developed an interest in cases where private citizens play a role in public enforcement. That interest led to a concentration on whistleblower and qui tam matters. She has handled matters that require careful attention to statutory language, procedural deadlines, and the interplay between federal and state enforcement agencies. Her work often involves detailed investigation, drafting of pleadings under seal, and coordination with government counsel.
Colleagues describe Durrell as a lawyer who approaches cases methodically. She emphasizes preparation and the precise application of statutes. She pays close attention to evidentiary issues and the timing of disclosures. Those elements can be decisive in whistleblower litigation, where procedure and timing frequently shape outcomes as much as the underlying facts.
Durrell has been an active member of the Massachusetts legal community for decades. Her longstanding membership in the state bar reflects ongoing engagement with professional standards and court practice. She has worked on matters that intersect with public policy and enforcement, and she has experience managing the particular demands that qui tam litigation often places on clients and counsel.
She now practices at Whistleblower Law Collaborative LLC. At the Collaborative she represents individuals who bring information about fraud and regulatory violations to light, and she handles related litigation matters. Her current practice focuses on whistleblower and qui tam cases in Massachusetts and federal forums.
