Zoe’s clients include mid to large corporate companies, as well as private individuals.
Recent examples of how Zoe has supported clients include:

- working on general breach of contract claims in respect of construction disputes;

- assisting on an aviation dispute regarding the loss of profits due to a breach by an international entity, including aiding with the collation of evidence;
- assisting on an aviation dispute regarding a litigant in persons claim for £100,000 based on our client’s refusal to let them board due to a breach of the current COVID-19 guidelines. This resulted in the case being dismissed and our client receiving their costs in full;
- advising clients in respect of defamatory statements appearing online; and
- assisting in research into the impact of recent Russian Sanctions legislation for a number of aviation clients.
