Spear’s Review

Zoe Jacob tells Spear’s that she is ‘a barrister by background’. 

Having worked at legal firms such as Farrer and Withers, she has significant experience in advising HNWs in matters relating to UK immigration and nationality law, EEA immigration rules and human rights. For Jacob, ‘UK immigration is just one piece of the puzzle’. 

In her previous roles, she was frequently instructed by the Home Office. ‘It gave me an interesting start in immigration,’ she says. It has proven especially useful for her current clients — some of whom might often be facing off against the Home Office. ‘I’m able to understand things from the other side’. 

Jacob has been leading Boodle Hatfield’s immigration department since January 2023 and says that she — alongside her team — are committed to delivering ‘bespoke solutions’.
