Family Advocate appointed at Irwin Mitchell

Leading law firm Irwin Mitchell has added to its specialist family law team in Yorkshire by appointing an experienced family Advocate.

Zoe Round joins the team as a Legal Executive Advocate, a role that carries the same advocacy rights as a solicitor, having specialised in family law for the last 17 years.

She has spent the last nine years working as a specialist in resolving financial disputes as well as disputes over children and cases of domestic violence. She is also a fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives.

The appointment means Round re-joins the firm where she started her career, having previously worked at Irwin Mitchell between 1993 and 1999.

Martin Loxley, National Head of Family Law at Irwin Mitchell said: “We are delighted to welcome Zoe back to Irwin Mitchell. She is vastly experienced in all areas of family law and will be an excellent addition to our team.

“Everyone at Irwin Mitchell is passionate for ensuring our clients receive the very best legal advice and support, and we are confident that Zoe has all the attributes necessary to be successful here.”

Zoe Round said: “I am extremely pleased to be re-joining Martin and the family team at Irwin Mitchell. It is a fantastic firm at the forefront of client care, and jumped at the opportunity to come back.”
