Colleague Spotlight
Zoe Kerr, Trainee Employment Solicitor
Glasgow
Zoe completed her LLB and Diploma in Legal Practice at the University of Strathclyde, graduating with a first class degree in Law. Zoe developed a keen interest in employment law throughout her time at university, as well as through her position as an Adviser at her local Citizens Advice Bureau.
During her studies, Zoe worked at the University of Strathclyde as a Student Tutor in Law and volunteered as a Student Mentor to students from areas of deprivation with a desire to study Law at university.
Before joining Law At Work (now WorkNest), Zoe gained legal experience in a small high-street law firm as a Legal Assistant. This enabled her to develop strong client-facing skills and build lasting relationships with clients – a muscle she is keen to flex to at WorkNest.
In her free time, Zoe enjoys swimming and is a member of Scottish Swimming. She’s also a keen hill-walker and enjoys going to the gym.
