Zoe has built a cutting-edge practice in collective proceedings, launching the first ‘environmental’ CPO claims at the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) against water companies for alleged market abuse. She primarily acts on behalf of consumers, investors, businesses, and other stakeholders in opt-out collective actions within the CAT. Her expertise in all these areas significantly enhances our contentious competition and ESG offerings.

"I focus on those impacted by competition law harms, but also have significant experience acting on behalf of firms who are subject to litigation, or who are under investigation by competition and sectoral regulators."

"My experience in cross-border, multi-party litigation, and regulatory investigations, particularly in relation to financial institutions is also significant."

“I approach litigation with a clearly defined strategy, and recognise that you need a creative and positive approach to problem solving when challenges arise.  I’m open, enthusiastic and direct, very focused on getting the best job done, and make sure that the client and stakeholders are with me and the team every step of the way.” 

"Clear-thinking, innovative and dedicated to getting the best for my clients, sometimes in challenging and complex situations.”

“I build a positive team working environment and support the careers of others, in order that clients get the best quality advice from every member of the team now and in the future.”

Zoe’s recent work highlights:

Acting for a class representative against six water companies in relation to their alleged abuses of a dominant position in providing misleading information to the relevant regulatory bodies, the Environment Agency, and the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat)
