Zoe’s passion for helping individuals and families navigate complex issues led her to specialise in family law.

Zoe has great financial nous, is passionate about finding creative solutions to help her clients achieve the best possible results and is a trained Collaborative Lawyer. Her ability to build strong relationships with both clients and other lawyers has been a key factor in her success. Zoe is skilled at making clients feel at ease, and has been described by her clients as empathetic, level-headed, honest and confident.

Real person

Outside of her legal work, Zoe finds joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loves the idea of being riddled with exciting hobbies that make her seem adventurous and high octane – but that’s just not her. She once tried water skiing and failed miserably. She loves the ‘every day’ – her Burmese cat (her ‘burm baby’), travel, running, good food and spending time with friends and family.
