Zahra Pabani Profile

“Zahra is superb. She is understanding but very clear about what is possible and what can be achieved.”

– Chambers and Partners

I am a Tier One ranked family law partner, and for over twenty years I’ve advised individuals and families navigating the financial and practical complexities of high value relationship breakdowns. I work nationally with clients whose matters often involve significant wealth, business interests, and long term family considerations, where clarity and sound judgment are essential.

I’m renowned for my experience in ultra-high-net-worth family law cases. I am consistently recognised for my expertise by leading independent legal guides such as Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500, who call me “… a powerhouse, with a wealth of knowledge and experience”.

        More about Zahra

        I typically advise high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals and families, often with complex asset structures and international elements. My clients include entrepreneurs, business owners, senior professionals, and those with inherited wealth, many of whom require discreet, strategic guidance across jurisdictions and generations.

        I am particularly experienced in supporting clients where there is a strong commercial backdrop to family matters, including family businesses, trusts and overseas interests.
