Boodle Hatfield LLP

Immigration

Zoe heads the firm's UK immigration team. She is an immigration expert with over a decade of experience advising both individuals and businesses in all areas of UK immigration, nationality and asylum law.

She is known for her client-centric approach and her ability to find innovative, commercially viable solutions in unusual circumstances. She represents UHNW and HNW individuals who come to her for her track record of exceptional client service, and tangible results, when advising on complex matters, particularly those which fall outside the Immigration Rules. She has extensive experience working with individuals relocating to the UK for the purposes of investment or establishment of a UK entity.

Zoe also works seamlessly with businesses applying for sponsor licences and Skilled Worker visas, and helps these clients navigate the ever-changing sponsor licence compliance regime.

Zoe has significant experience working with the Home Office to achieve the best possible outcomes for her clients. Her previous experience acting as independent counsel for the Home Office in a range of appeals in the Immigration Tribunal gives her a unique insight into the Home Office decision making process.

 Zoe was appointed as a member of the Law Society’s Immigration Law Committee in September 2023 for an initial three-year term. This policy advisory committee helps shape Law Society policy on the immigration-related issues affecting the profession, access to justice and the rule of law – now and into the future.

Zoe is also a course trainer for the ‘Introduction to student sponsor license compliance’ course run by HJT training – a specialist training provider focussing on education on human rights and business issues, as well as immigration and employment law.
