Viberts Announce New Managing Partner
Viberts Jersey Lawyers is delighted to announce the appointment of Advocate Zoe Blomfield as Managing Partner. She joined the firm’s family department in 2004 and became a partner in 2006. Initially she managed and developed the firm’s significant family legal aid department whilst maintaining a considerable private family law practice. In recent years she has strengthened and re-structured the firm’s personal law services and developed a thriving probate and employment law practice and this is now her primary focus.
As Managing Partner she will be responsible for the implementation of the firm’s strategic plan and the day-to-day management of the firm. Zoe will also continue to head up the firm’s Personal Law Department dealing with employment law, and all probate related matters.
She said of her appointment, ’I am honoured to be at the helm of Viberts. We have already made many positive changes over the last 12 months which have served the firm well in the present difficult trading conditions. I intend to consolidate the firm’s position as the premier local law firm whilst identifying and taking up opportunities to extend our client base further. These are exciting times for Viberts, and we have an extremely capable and loyal work force, who I very much look forward to working more closely with’.
Charles Thacker, the firm’s retiring Managing Partner, and now Chairman said
"We are all delighted that Zoe has been appointed Managing Partner and are certain that her energy, motivational talents and her outstanding commitment to client services will enable the firm to develop considerably despite the present challenging business environment".
Ms Blomfield is a collaborative lawyer and was instrumental in introducing collaborative law to Jersey. She is the Chairman of the Social Security Medical Appeal Tribunal, a member of the Employment Lawyer’s Association, the Jersey Family Law Association, Resolution, and the Institute of Directors. She lives in St. Lawrence and is married with a son.
