Due to shortage of time from my side, i can only identify and explain to an extent, the main topics which should be addressed from Sunni and Shia point of views:
1. Marriage:
a. Sunni Law: A Muslim male may contract marriage with Kitabia but not with an idolatress or fire worshiper (a marriage with an idolatress or fire worshiper is IRREGULAR).
A Muslim female cannot contract a valid marriage with non-Muslim. Her marriage with non-Muslim is irregular (according to some jurists, this marriage is void, not irregular).
b. Shia Law: In the Shia Law, marriage between non-muslim female and muslim male is unlawful and so also is a marriage between muslim female and non-muslim male.
But a muslim male may contract a valid Mutta marriage with Kitabia. they recognise fire-worshipers among kitabias.
2. Types of Marriages i.e; Valid, Irregular and Void:
Shia Law does not recognise the distinction between irregular and void marriages. According to it, marriage is either void or valid.
Marriages that are irregulars under the Sunni laws are Void under the Shia laws.
Mutta Marriage: it is a temporary marriage which is only permitted under the Shia law.
3. Divorce:
Talak under compulsion: According to Hanafi Law, talaq, even if it is pronounced under any form of compulsion or by way of jest if the words used are express or in a state of intoxication or to satisfy his father or some one else, becomes effective and IRREVOCABLE as soon as it is pronounced.
According to Shia Law, talaq under compulsion is INVALID.
4. Inheritance Laws:
I don't have a book before me regarding this section, but i will try to explain the main difference.
According to Sunni law, share in inheritance is there for sisters and other relations of a man after deducting the due share of the immediate heirs, but in Shia law, no share in inheritance is there foe the sisters or other secondary relatives of a man after assigning the share of the immediate heirs that is sons, daughters, wife...
Hope i have been of a li'l help.
keep me in your prayers,
regards
