Behind Succession Studio are two founders with a shared vision: to deliver high‑calibre succession law education in a way that feels personal, transparent, and refreshingly straightforward.

With decades of combined experience, the collective expertise of Chris Herrald and Chelsea Baker enables Succession Studio to provide strategic, contemporary succession law education to practitioners across Australia.

Their backgrounds span complex advisory work, trusts, estate planning, structuring, litigation, administration and practice leadership, giving them a holistic understanding of both the technical and human elements that shape succession law.

As co-founders, Chris and Chelsea share a philosophy grounded in authenticity, excellence, and genuine care for the people they teach. They are committed to creating an environment where practitioners feel supported, informed, and confident in their decision‑making—whether they are new to succession law or established practitioners looking to deepen their expertise.

Their approach blends depth with accessibility, ensuring that every session, resource, and interaction reflects the core values upon which Succession Studio was built: clarity, practicality, and a commitment to elevating the standard of succession education across the profession, nationwide.
